<h1>ESP Web Tools</h1>
<p>
ESP Web Tools is a set of open source tools to allow working with ESP
devices in the browser.
<a href="https://github.com/esphome/esp-web-tools"
>The code is available on GitHub.</a
>
</p>
<p>
To try it out and install
<a href="https://esphome.io">ESPHome</a> on an ESP, connect it to your
computer and hit the button:
</p>
<esp-web-install-button
manifest="static/firmware_build/manifest.json"
></esp-web-install-button>
<p>
<i>
Note, this only works in desktop Chrome and Edge. Android support
should be possible but has not been implemented yet. If you don't see
your ESP device, you might miss <a href="#drivers">drivers</a>.
</i>
</p>
<p>
This works by combining
<a
href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Serial_API"
>Web Serial</a
>
with a manifest which describes the firmware. It will automatically
detect the type of the connected ESP device and find the right firmware
files in the manifest.

<h2 id="add-website">Adding ESP Web Tools to your website</h2>
<p>
To add this to your own website, create a manifest and add the button to
your website. Make sure you update the manifest attribute to point at
your manifest.
</p>
<p>
You can import ESP Web Tools directly from the unpkg CDN or
<a href="https://unpkg.com/browse/esp-web-tools/dist/web/"
>download the files</a
>
and put them on your website.
</p>
<pre>
&lt;script
type="module"
src="https://unpkg.com/esp-web-tools@5.0.0/dist/web/install-button.js?module"
>&lt;/script>
&lt;esp-web-install-button
manifest="static/firmware_build/manifest.json"
>&lt;/esp-web-install-button></pre
>
<p>
Your website needs to be served over <code>https://</code>. If your
manifest is hosted on another server, make sure you configure
<a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS"
>the CORS-headers</a
>
for your manifest and firmware files such that your website is allowed
to fetch those files by adding the header
<code
>Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://domain-of-your-website.com</code
>.
</p>
<p>
ESP Web Tools can also be integrated in your projects by installing it
via NPM:<br />
<code>npm install --save esp-web-tools</code>
</p>
<h3 id="manifest">Creating your manifest</h3>
<p>
ESP Web Tools manifest describe the firmware that you want to install.
It allows specifying different builds for the different types of ESP
devices. Current supported chip families are <code>ESP8266</code>,
<code>ESP32</code>, <code>ESP32C3</code> and <code>ESP32S2</code>. The
correct build will be automatically selected based on the type of the
ESP device we detect via the serial port.
</p>
<pre>
{
"name": "ESPHome",
"version": "2021.11.0",
"home_assistant_domain": "esphome",
"new_install_skip_erase": false,
"builds": [
{
"chipFamily": "ESP32",
"parts": [
{ "path": "bootloader.bin", "offset": 4096 },
{ "path": "partitions.bin", "offset": 32768 },
{ "path": "ota.bin", "offset": 57344 },
{ "path": "firmware.bin", "offset": 65536 }
]
},
{
"chipFamily": "ESP8266",
"parts": [
{ "path": "esp8266.bin", "offset": 0 }
]
}
]
}</pre
>
<p>
Each build contains a list of parts to be flashed to the ESP device.
Each part consists of a path to the file and an offset on the flash
where it should be installed. Part paths are resolved relative to the
path of the manifest, but can also be URLs to other hosts.
</p>
<p>
If your firmware is supported by Home Assistant, you can add the
optional key <code>home_assistant_domain</code>. If present, ESP Web
Tools will link the user to add this device to Home Assistant.
</p>
<p>
By default a new installation will erase the entire flash. If you want
to skip this step, set the optional key
<code>new_install_skip_erase</code> to <code>true</code>. ESP Web Tools
considers it a new installation if it is unable to detect the current
firmware of the device (via Improv Serial) or if the detected firmware
does not match the name specififed in the manifest.
</p>
<h3 id="improv">Wi-Fi provisioning</h3>
<p>
ESP Web Tools has support for the
<a href="https://www.improv-wifi.com/serial"
>Improv Wi-Fi serial standard</a
>. This is an open standard to allow configuring Wi-Fi via the serial
port.
</p>
<p>
If Improv is supported, a user will be guided to connect the device to
the network after installation. It also allows the user to connect
already installed devices and re-configure the wireless network
settings.
</p>
<h3 id="customize">Customizing the look and feel</h3>
<p>
There are multiple options to change the look and feel of the button and
other elements.
</p>
<h4>Change colors</h4>
<p>
You can change the colors of the default UI elements with CSS custom
properties (variables), the following variables are available:
</p>
<ul>
<li><code>--esp-tools-button-color</code></li>
<li><code>--esp-tools-button-text-color</code></li>
</ul>
<p>There are also some attributes that can be used for styling:</p>
<table>
<tr>
<td><code>install-supported</code></td>
<td>Added if installing firmware is supported</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>install-unsupported</code>
</td>
<td>Added if installing firmware is not supported</td>
</tr>
</table>
<h4>Replace the button and message with a custom one</h4>
<p>
You can replace both the activation button and the message that is shown
when the user uses an unsupported browser or non-secure context with
your own elements. This can be done using the <code>activate</code>,
<code>unsupported</code> and <code>not-allowed</code> slots:
</p>
<pre>
&lt;esp-web-install-button
manifest="static/firmware_build/manifest.json"
>
&lt;button slot="activate">Custom install button&lt;/button>
&lt;span slot="unsupported">Ah snap, your browser doesn't work!&lt;/span>
&lt;span slot="not-allowed">Ah snap, you are not allowed to use this on HTTP!&lt;/span>
&lt;/esp-web-install-button>
</pre
>
<h3 id="drivers">USB Serial Drivers</h3>
<p>
If the serial port is not showing up, your computer might be missing the
drivers for the USB serial chip used in your ESP device. These drivers
work for most ESP devices:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
CP2102 (square chip):
<a
href="https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers"
>driver</a
>
</li>
<li>
