Manually Uploading Code Through ESPHome

If your device becomes unresponsive and you've exhausted the other troubleshooting methods you can upload a fresh set of firmware by following the below guide. The utility does need to be run from Chrome or Edge.

If your device has already been connected to Home Assistant previously please refer to Removing Device From Home Assistant first before proceeding

  1. Plug your MSR-1 into your computer with a quality USBC cable that supports data transfer

  2. Navigate to the installer page for your specific product (i.e. Air-1) and click connect ** MSR-1 ** or** MSR-2 ** or ** AIR-1 ** or ** MTR-1 **

  3. Select your Apollo device, it will show with a similar name to the one below, and click connect. If you aren't sure which device it is, you can unplug the MSR-1 and see which disappears.
