🏠 Home Automation V2

A modern browser-based firmware installer built for the TECHIESMS Home Automation V2 project.

Instead of downloading Arduino IDE or ESPTool, users can simply connect an ESP32 board through USB and flash the firmware directly from Chrome or Microsoft Edge using ESP Web Tools.

The project also includes an integrated Web Serial Monitor, firmware manifest, futuristic UI, and complete firmware package for hassle-free installation.
