1. Open the Config.h file and configure your WIFI credentials, MQTT Broker credentials and OTA credentials.

1. As of today I am not sure if OTA works, however it is highly recommended to change the username and password to something else for security.

1. Open the case and solder 6 Jumers on the board. Four are needed for the serial connection (GND, 3.3V, RX und TX) and two are needed for the Jumper (J1 and J2) to enter the flash mode.

## Subsequent OTA updates of the H801
114+
After you have completed the initial flash of the H801 as described above, you will be able to flash the H801 Over The Air (OTA) using the wifi-connection.
115+
1. If the H801 is connected to your wifi you schould be able to open a webbrowser on a PC and go to: "http://opa_update_h801_[Module_Name]/firmware" where [Module_Name] is specified in the Config.h file (default: LED1).
116+
1. It will ask for credentials if you browse to that web-page, these are the credentials specified in the Config.h file (OTA_username, OTA_password). After filling in the credentials you should see two buttons: "Choose File" and "Update".
117+
1. Open the latest h801-mqtt-json.ino file that you dowload from this github project with Arduino IDE.
118+
1. Select following in the menu tools:
119+
1. Board: Generic ESP8266 Module
120+
1. Flash Mode: DIO
121+
1. Flash Frequency: 40MHz
122+
1. CPU Frequency: 80 MHz
123+
1. Flash Size: 1M (64K SPIFFS)
124+
1. Upload Speed: 115200
125+
1. In the top bar select "Sketch" --> "Export Compiled Binary", after it completes there schould be a .bin file in the folder where you saved the h801-mqtt-json.ino file.
126+
1. Upload this .bin file to your H801 using first the "Choose File" and then the "Update" button of step 2.
127+
1. Done, the H801 should now update and restart with the new firmware version.
