There are four 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 or are familiar with the esptool.py script. If you haven't dabbled in these tools, 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](https://github.com/rstrouse/ESPSomfy-RTS/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](https://github.com/rstrouse/ESPSomfy-RTS/wiki/Updating-ESPSomfy-RTS) instead of this onboarding procedure.

Download the file that matches your ESP32 chip series to your computer somewhere and un-compress the zip.
