Bernie asked 2 years ago

I am uploading sketches using the OTA web updater. I sometimes need to reboot the ESP32 without the need to upload the code. How does one do this?

Hi Sara – It turns out if you hit ‘Update’ without choosing a file (when the form says “No file chosen”) then it will perform a reboot. So, refresh the browser page, and hit update, and it will reboot without an upload.

Hi.
The instruction that reboots the ESP32 is:

ESP.restart();

But I’m not sure how to do that over the air in a simple way.

Thanks for sharing it.
I didn’t know about that. That’s certainly a useful feature.

I’ll mark this issue as resolved. If you need further help, you just need to open a new question in our forum.
