Look into Over The Air programming of esp32 #35

esp32s can be reprogrammed over wifi which would be really convenient to have for the station so we don't have to open it up to update the code. things to look into:

turn OTA on and off through database (could help with security)
integrate OTA with current code

3 ways to connect for OTA:

esp32 makes an AP
connect to esp32 through brown's wifi network
this article is neat, I think it might let us reprogram the esp32 even if we don't have a direct wifi connection to it
