Additional information

When I upload this yaml script by "Manual download" and esphomeflasher, all is right but when I try to update by OTA I have the error : ERROR Error binary size: Error: ESP has been flashed with wrong flash size. Please choose the correct 'board' option (esp01_1m always works) and then flash over USB.

If I flash with esphomeflasher, I can flash once with ESPHome via OTA but after this flashing, impossible to update via OTA. I have to go through esphomeflasher again... Which setting is overwritten by the ESPHome OTA update?

to allow OTA you need to enable it by adding ota: in your script. I see you have a package for the ota, could you show that as well?

But that does not seem the error. Are you really sure you have the D1 mini Pro from what you are telling. it looks like you brand a firmware with the wrong memory settings. I did that with a sonoff mini and i was never be able to revive it. what you could try is setting the board: to esp01_1m and try to reflash it via the esphomeflasher and see of the OTA works again.

Here is the code for the config-ota.yaml file :

  # OTA Update Component:
  #  https://esphome.io/components/ota.html
  ota:
    password: !secret ota_pass_all

what you could try is setting the board: to esp01_1m and try to reflash it via the esphomeflasher and see of the OTA works again. I have already done this and it works well but I need to adapt my GPIOs. I'm not sure if the GPIOs match.

[nielsnl68]

The gpio pins are always the same for every EPS8266

[SqualeDev]

but the notation D1 & D2 does not exist on esp01_1m
