This project is deprecated in favour of browser based flashing withESP Web Tools. For example:https://web.esphome.io

ESPHome-Flasher is a utility app for theESPHomeframework and is designed to make flashing ESPs with ESPHome as simple as possible by:

• Having pre-built binaries for most operating systems.
• Hiding all non-essential options for flashing. All necessary options for flashing(bootloader, flash mode) are automatically extracted from the binary.

This project was originally intended to be a simple command-line tool,but then I decided that a GUI would be nice. As I don't like writing graphicalfront end code, the GUI largely is based on theNodeMCU PyFlasherproject.

The flashing process is done using theesptoollibrary by espressif.

It doesn't have to be installed, just double-click it and it'll start.Check thereleases sectionfor downloads for your platform.

If you want to install this application frompip:

• Install Python 3.x
• InstallwxPython 4.x manually or runpip3 install wxpython (see also linux notes below)
• Install this project usingpip3 install esphomeflasher
• Start the GUI usingesphomeflasher. Alternatively, you can use the command line interface (typeesphomeflasher -h for info)

If you want to build this application yourself you need to:

• Install Python 3.x
• InstallwxPython 4.x manually or runpip3 install wxpython
• Download this project and runpip3 install -e . in the project's root.
• Start the GUI usingesphomeflasher. Alternatively, you can use the command line interface (typeesphomeflasher -h for info)

Installing wxpython for linux can be a bit challenging (especially when you don't want to install from source).You can use the following command to install a wxpython suitable with your OS:

# Go to https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ and select the correct OS type# here, we assume ubuntu 18.03 bionicpip3 install -U \    -f https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ubuntu-18.04 \    wxPython
