Home Assistant How to - flash latest LilyGO HiGrow firmware

Описание

LilyGo HiGrow boards are great plant sensors based on ESP modules and Pesor has done great job in giving them new life by creating firmware that works with MQTT. Today we will be flashing latest version of the firmware and configuring various options on the board.
New video is here since overall compiling process has changed and instead of Arduino IDE we are now using Visual Studio Code (VSCode) and PlatformIO.
