#96595 I tried to upgrade tof my sonoff basic R2 with the latest esphome version using ota today. The logs showed that the upload was complete but then device didn’t come online. The device looked fine but it didnt connect to wifi and the led was not turning on also. I thought it would have been an issue with update so I tried to flashing the firmware using my PC. But it seems my PC is also not able to even recognize the device as esp8266 or connect to the device. I tried using esp flasher, tasmotizer and all but nothing worked. What could be the issue?

This happened a few months back also with another sonoff basic R2. Both these devices were working fine till the upgrade. I have now stopped upgrading my devices because of fear of them being stale like these two.

I hope some one can help me figure out whats happening.
