board markings

Different to board on this page, mine has following markings:

HYS-01-008_V3.4
2018-07-20

boot loader mode

Short GPIO0 and GND during boot to enter flash mode before connecting to the serial programmer. The power indicator LED will be strong red to confirm the device has entered this mode. As soon as the short is removed, the red color will be dimmed. The device will then be ready for flashing.

espurina - DON"T USE IT!

TL;DR -- it doesn't work for me at all -- it reboots when I access web page and doesn't send data over mqtt or influxdb reliably. I can't recommend it at all, but I'm leaving my attempts below....

configuration

https://github.com/xoseperez/espurna/wiki/Configuration

connect to first boot AP

When asked for credentials, enter "admin" as username and "fibonacci" as password.

I configured mqtt and start pushing data using telegraf to influxdb. json doesn't work with telegraf.

ota update

https://github.com/xoseperez/espurna/wiki/OTA

dpavlin@nuc:/nuc/esp8266/espurna/code$ git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/xoseperez/espurna (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/xoseperez/espurna (push)
dpavlin@nuc:/nuc/esp8266/espurna/code$ platformio run -e blitzwolf-bwshpx-ota


for some rason, updateing using web interface browse/upload did work for me first time, but not after that.
Is version 1.13.6-dev broken?

Does not work for me.

platformio ota
