I am trying to use this project to connect my newly purchased April Soil Moisture sensors to MQTT.
First, I am hoping to flash it with the ESPHome web installer from my PC, then will use HA (HAOS) to install the project over wifi.
I am trying to do a test flash on ESPHome web, and am following the instructions:
**With battery removed/unplugged
Press and hold IO0
Plug USB cable. Wait seconds for boot
Release IO0**
I keep running into the issue where it says
Failed to initialize. Try resetting your device or holding the BOOT button while selecting your serial port until it starts preparing the installation.
Any ideas or better way to implement this? Should I run ESPHome on my PC and try flashing from there? Is there a different sequence of buttons I should be trying?
