Hi there, purchased this unit for some lovely PV monitoring.
I’m a software/DevOps engineer so software/hardware is pretty familair with me, having many esp8266 devices already in the house.
Electrician is coming in 2 days to install the unit with some new GPO’s so I can monitor each of my 3phases AC phases.
I had previously configured the device to my wifi and had no issues using it’s web interface.
I attempted to power it up yesterday and noted it couldn’t connect to wifi.
It appears to have tried to update to 02_05_09 and failed.
Serial output:
SD card contains the new image in the download folder 02_05_09.bin, and a folder called the same with the config.txt/html files.
There was 3 log files,. 2 of which had garbage in them

Update: I’ve not seen any additional logs written to the sd card, nor is the serial log giving any details.
I’ve since tried using nodemcu flasher and esptool to reload the firmware, but suspect I’m missing something (or perhaps the SPIFFS specific settings).
For additional data, I also curl’d the images down again whilst connected to a sydney VPN.
