Is OpenBeken firmware compatible with ESP8266 (1MB flash) and OTA from Tasmota?

    Hello,

    As I read previous messages and see list of releases, there is ESP32.

    But it's not totally clear to me if an old ESP8266 is also supported by OpenBeken FW if there only is at least 1MB flash chip.

    It would be fantastic if it was, because then it would be possible to switch completelly to this one and only platform and getting rid of two different ones.

    If it is possible to flash OpenBeken to ESP8266, is it possible OTA if there already is Tasmota flashed and running?

    There is currently no ESP8266 build of OpenBeken.

  • UART flashing required; OTA on 1 MB unlikely

    OTA to OpenESP8266 is not an option but there is now this to consider if you wanted to test and can UART flash

    I think it would be fair to say though that you should perhaps be prepared to reflash in future as it's quite new. I'm not sure if OTA on 1mb will be a thing for OBK.

    Should probably let @insmod comment on that

    Correct, no OTA on 1MB.
