esp8266 self OTA update in HTTPS (SSL/TLS) with trusted self signed certificate – 3

OTA (Over the Air) update is the process of uploading firmware to an ESP module using a Wi-Fi connection rather than a serial port.
In this article we are going to explain OTA update via HTTPS secure connection, and with a valid self signed certificate trusted from the client.

esp8266 self OTA update firmware from server with version check – 2

OTA (Over the Air) update is the process of uploading firmware to an ESP module using a Wi-Fi connection rather than a serial port. Such functionality becomes extremely useful in case of limited or no physical access to the module.
In this article we will explain the OTA update with an automatic REST request that starts the download and flash if the firmware version is not updated.
