<h2>How it works</h2>
<p>
ESP Web Tools works by combining
<a
href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Serial_API"
>Web Serial</a
>, <a href="https://www.improv-wifi.com/">Improv Wi-Fi</a> (optional),
and a manifest which describes the firmware. ESP Web Tools detects the
chipset of the connected ESP device and automatically selects the right
firmware variant from the manifest.
</p>
<p>
Web Serial is available in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge
browsers<span class="not-supported-i hidden">
(but not on your iOS device)</span
>. Android support should be possible but has not been implemented yet.
</p>
<h3 id="improv">Configuring Wi-Fi</h3>
<p>
ESP Web Tools supports 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 the firmware supports Improv, a user will be asked to connect the
device to the network after installing the firmware. Once connected, the
device can send the user to a URL to finish configuration. For example,
this can be a link to the device's IP address where it serves a local
UI.
</p>
<p>
At any time in the future a user can use ESP Web Tools to find the
device link or to reconfigure the Wi-Fi settings without doing a
reinstall.

</p>
<h3 id="logs">Viewing logs & sending commands</h3>
<p>
ESP Web Tools allows users to open a serial console to see the logs and
send commands.

</p>
<h2 id="add-website">Adding ESP Web Tools to your website</h2>
<p>
To add this to your own website, you need to include the ESP Web Tools
JavaScript files on your website, create a manifest file and add the ESP
Web Tools button HTML.
</p>
<p>
You can import the JavaScript files 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@7.5.0/dist/web/install-button.js?module"
>&lt;/script></pre
>
<p>
Find a place on your page where you want the button to appear and
include the following bit of HTML. Update the
<code>manifest</code> attribute to point at your manifest file.
</p>
<pre>
&lt;esp-web-install-button
manifest="/static/firmware_build/manifest.json"
>&lt;/esp-web-install-button></pre
>
<p>
ESP Web Tools requires that your website is served over
<code>https://</code> to work. This is a Web Serial security
requirement.
</p>
<p>
If your manifest or the firmware files are hosted on another server,
make sure you configure
<a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS"
>the CORS-headers</a
>
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
<a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/esp-web-tools">via NPM</a>.
</p>
<h3 id="manifest">Creating your manifest</h3>
<p>
Manifests describe the firmware that you want to offer the user 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>ESP32-C3</code>,
<code>ESP32-S2</code> and <code>ESP32-S3</code>. The correct build will
be automatically selected based on the type of the connected ESP device.
</p>
<pre>
{
"name": "ESPHome",
"version": "2021.11.0",
"home_assistant_domain": "esphome",
"funding_url": "https://esphome.io/guides/supporters.html",
"new_install_prompt_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 installed 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 all data before installation.
If you want to leave this choice to the user, set the optional manifest
key
<code>new_install_prompt_erase</code> to <code>true</code>. ESP Web
Tools offers users 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>
<p>
When a firmware is first installed on a device, it might need to do some
time consuming tasks like initializing the file system. By default ESP
Web Tools will wait 10 seconds to receive an Improv Serial response to
indicate that the boot is completed. You can increase this timeout by
setting the optional manifest key
<code>new_install_improv_wait_time</code> to the number of seconds to
wait. Set to <code>0</code> to disable Improv Serial detection.
</p>
<p>
If your product accepts donations you can add
<code>funding_url</code> to your manifest. This allows you to link to
your page explaining the user how they can fund development. This link
is visible in the ESP Web Tools menu when connected to a device running
your firmware (as detected via Improv).
</p>
<p>
ESP Web Tools allows you to provide your own check if the device is
running the same firmware as specified in the manifest. This check can
be setting the <code>overrides</code> property on
<code>&lt;esp-web-install-button&gt;</code>. The value is an object
containing a
<code>checkSameFirmwareVersion(manifest, improvInfo)</code> function.
The <code>manifest</code> parameter is your manifest and
<code>improvInfo</code> is the information returned from Improv:
<code>{ name, firmware, version, chipFamily }</code>. This check is only
called if the device firmware was detected via Improv.
</p>
<pre>
const button = document.querySelector('esp-web-install-button');
button.overrides = {
checkSameFirmwareVersion(manifest, improvInfo) {
const manifestFirmware = manifest.name.toLowerCase();
const deviceFirmware = improvInfo.firmware.toLowerCase();
return manifestFirmware.includes(deviceFirmware);
}
};</pre
>
<h3 id="customize">Customizing the look and feel</h3>
<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
