Overview of all web interface settings EMS-ESP V2¶

The Gateway models Premium, Premium II, Standard and Regular are based on the EMS-ESP V2 firmware.

Note

The EMS-ESP firmware V2 project has now been archived. It is recommended to upgrade to an ESP32 chip to make use of the much improved EMS-ESP32 V3 firmware. See this page for more information.

There’s a whole range of other settings you can make from within the web interface. Most speak for themselves. Below an overview of all pages. With each new firmware version features are added and sometimes removed. The pages below are based on V2 firmware. If you have a Gateway S32 or E32 look HERE for the V3 firmware.

Update firmware¶

On this page you can update the firmware of the Gateway. First you can download the latest stable version and then upload the bin file or another bin file to the Gateway.

Warning

The Gateways models Premium (II), Standard and Regular are based on the ESP8266. Always chose the ESP8266 bin file!. If you upload the ESP32 bin file you will brick the Gateway and you need to use Platform I/O or the ESP loader to install the correct firmware again.

If your Gateway works fine and there are no significant new features, its not recommended to update the firmware just for the sake of updating. Some firmware versions are not stable and can give stability issues.
