ESP 8266 OTA capable?

Software IoT Cloud
1

I purchased some inexpensive ESP 8266 boards and they are not showing up as OTA capable in my IOT Thing Sketch "dashboard." I have some ESP 32's that show up as OTA capable and my nano 33 IOT, does as well, but these just indicate that there is "No associated device found" while they are deployed in their locations, connected to the IOT Cloud.

They were listed as ESP8266 NodeMCU LUA CH340 ESP-12E and I chose NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module) when setting the boards up. Not sure if I did something wrong or if I need to add a library or something, as there were no real instructions with the boards...

Hi @fa20driver there is no OTA support for ESP8266 boards; NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module) should be fine for your boards.

I found something similar in IDE 2.x.x where ESP32's would show up as ports, but ESP8266's wouldn't even though they show up in IDE 1.8.19 just fine. I don't use any cloud, i'd like to have my sky clear. So they are OTA capable.

@Deva_Rishi yes ESP8266 are OTA capable, what i mean is there is no OTA support for ESP8266 in Arduino Cloud.

Which is disappointing as is the lack of ports showing in the IDE 2.x.x
