ESP8266 Community Forum

- Wed May 26, 2021 2:59 pm #91481 I have been having difficulties using mdns and Arduino as the mdns appears unreliable.

Is there any way of using llmnr which I find to be much more reliable?

I see there are two methods of doing OTA on the esp8266, one is to use the Arduino IDE the other is to use a web server. I am open to either way, however I am also running a web server for other needs, can both web servers Coexist on the same esp8266 board?

Thanks, Mark.

So much lawn, so little time.

You just initiate the OTA by accessing a specific url e.g. ip/firmware which then allows you to login if password protected, then choose the bin file to upload and update.
