Adding a new device Sonoff #37

I have found another device that has a ESP8266 inside which would be great to flash:

I would love to help add these extra devices.

hi @stephenkeep - do you have these sonoff devices?

Flasher.js only works via serial flashing. Would this device be able to be flashes via USB-to-Serial or is it only flashable over the air?

If OTA we actually do need to add that to Flasher.js' functionality.

Hi @chalkers,

Yes I have 2 of these and I have found out how I can connect to them via serial -> usb:

So i just need to make up the cable. Once I have it connected to my Mac, should i just be able to flash it?

One thing to mention is that the esp8266 that is on these only has 1mb flash. Is that enough?

Thanks,

Steve

Currently we only support the ESP8266 with 4mb flash

We'll have to update the UI to include devices. I think that's going to be the best way to support multiple devices and firmwares going forward
