Instructions for Flashing the BIN File

If you're utilizing esptool to facilitate the firmware flashing process, refer to the flashing-firmware documentation for comprehensive details.

Alternatively, you have two options for obtaining the necessary tool:

1. Download it from the official repository.
2. Utilize the tool I've provided, available here. This tool eliminates the need for an ESP-IDF environment for compilation and flashing.

The BIN file release has been pre-processed using build.bat, making it straightforward to flash using flash.bat for Windows users. Remember to rename the file to firmware.bin, as line 42 references a file named firmware.bin for flashing.

Mac users, on the other hand, should use the following command:

./esptool --chip esp32s3 --baud 144000 write_flash -z 0x0 firmware.bin

You can adjust the baud rate according to your desired flash speed.

Hi

I tried your firmware for the SenseCAP.
I could connect it to the home assistant. Great thanks.

The only problem I have, is that I have more than 1 such device.
This means that I will have the same topic "indicator/sensor" for each device.
Would it be possible for you to update your software, so I can also change the "indicator" topic to some other value using the terminal?
So the topics would be something like "sensecapoffice1" or "sensecapoffice2".

For example
setmqtt -t sensecapoffice1
