There are three (actually 4 but the fourth method uses the command line) methods you can use to upload the initial firmware to your device. Two of them are a bit technical but not insurmountable. If you develop software on ESP devices then you probably already have the Arduino IDE v1.8 software installed on your computer. If you do not then choose either the ESP32 flash download tool method or the ESPHome web method as they are fairly straight forward. I didn't ask him to try, but I think that even the hairy cave dude from the Geico commercials can get this done.
The initial firmware onboarding can be performed using a single file without having to recompile the software using the `SomfyController.onboard.esp32.bin` file for the release. Download this file to your computer somewhere. The file is located on this repository under releases on the right side of the main page. Please note that if you flash this file to your device it will erase your shade configuration so if this is not a new install perform the update procedure instead of this onboarding procedure.

After you have dowloaded the `SomfyController.onboard.esp32.bin` file from the releases section of this repository, open the https://web.esphome.io website. Next click the connect button on the ESPHome web interface and a list of installed serial ports should appear in a dialog. Select the port that your ESPSomfy RTS device is connected to and press connect.
Ignore the Prepare for first use button and choose install. When the Install your existing ESPHome project dialog appears, click on the choose file button and select the `SomfyController.onboard.esp32.bin` file. Finally, click the `INSTALL` button and the firmware will load onto your device.

Finally, click the `INSTALL` button and the firmware will load onto your device.
Once the flash process is complete disconnect any jumpers you have installed to get the device to accept firmware and reboot the device. Then follow the instructions to connect the device to your network in the [Configuring the Software](https://github.com/rstrouse/ESPSomfy-RTS/wiki/Configuring-the-Software) wiki.
