Firmware update support for Things #791

Any plan to support OTA for connected Devices from Gateway?

mrstegeman commented 6 years ago

Are you referring to OTA firmware updates?

nithyanantham commented 6 years ago

Yes correct. I am referring to connected device firmware not the gateway firmware. I am looking for option to upload the firmware into gateway and from there i want to initiate OTA for all my connected devices.

mrstegeman commented 6 years ago

There is not currently support for that. We've had some initial discussions about it, but the OTA update mechanisms are all device-specific and are not always accessible by third party APIs.

nithyanantham commented 6 years ago

Ok, got it. I am working on some ESP8266 based custom device which is going support OTA. I am planning to use Mozilla Gateway to integrate all my wifi enabled devices.

I thought of checking if there any specification already defined for OTA support so that i can adopt in my firmware.

Well for device management I would have a look at LWM2M:

This should be handled by individual adapters, where possible.
