After the initial onboarding installation of the firmware and application software has been accomplished you can simply update your device to the latest version using the update function built into the software. There is no need to connect it up to a USB cable or even remove it from its current location. ESPSomfy RTS has a built in over-the-air (OTA) update process.
# Getting the Current files
You must first download the current files to a local computer from this repository home page. You will find the latest release in the releases section on the right hand side of the page. Simply click on the `Latest` bubble to open the release page.

For each release I will include what changes have been made as well as the binary files used to update your device. You will need to download the `SomfyController.ino.esp32.bin` and the `SomfyController.littlefs.bin` files by clicking on each of them. This will copy them to your downloads folder.

Next, from the gears menu click on the `Updates` tab. You will need to first update the firmware then update the application. Unless otherwise specified always update in this order. If you update the application first, there may be additional commands required in the firmware that do not exist so the update may fail. Every attempt is made to make the firmware operate with earlier versions of the application software.
Click the `Update Firmware` button then select the `SomfyController.ino.esp.bin` file using the icon next to the file name field. Once selected press the `Upload File` button and the screen will change to indicate that it is uploading the new firmware to the device. Do not turn off your device or disconnect until the upload finishes completely and the ESPSomfy RTS reboots. The screen will become unavailable for a short period while the device reboots.

After you have updated your firmware you must next update the Application. To do this, close the firmware update screen and notice that the firmware version should have changed to the new firmware. If the firmware successfully updated, click on the `Update Application` button and select the `SomfyController.littlefs.bin` file using the icon next to the file name field. Once selected, press the upload file button. If you are already on v1.4 or greater of the software, a backup file will be placed in your downloads folder when the process begins.

After the application software completes successfully, the browser will reload and you are finished.
