OTA not working

[jekkos]

I have tried to use OTA updates a couple of times, but they never succeed. The upload does start but always stalls at some point. Then after that nothing happens and the task just stops. Does anyone have similar experiences?
It would be nice to have this as otherwise I have to detach the lamp from the wall every time there is a new feature or bugfix.

actually it works quite well here. The only thing I did was to fix an issue related to the weird Path on my PC:

env.Execute("\"$PYTHONEXE\" -m pip install requests_toolbelt")
env.Execute("\"$PYTHONEXE\" -m pip install tqdm")

I just put $PYTHONEXE in masked Quotes (\") maybe this helps ;-)

Can someone explain to me, how one can use the ota? I just managed to upload to my esp32 with the usb serial connection.

just have look @ upload.py:

# Allows PlatformIO to upload directly to AsyncElegantOTA
#
# To use:
# - copy this script into the same folder as your platformio.ini
# - set the following for your project in platformio.ini:
#
# extra_scripts = platformio_upload.py
# upload_protocol = custom
# upload_url = <your upload URL>
#
# An example of an upload URL:

# upload_URL = http://192.168.1.123/update

the only remaining task left is to ensure unsername and password in upload.py matches OTA_USERNAME and OTA_PASSWORD in include/secrets.h
