Workflow · Coming soon

Ship OTA releases from GitHub, CI or your coding agent

Your repository, your pipeline, your terminal, your phone, your team's Discord and your coding agent. On the ESP32 family, in MicroPython.

Example

# Coming soon · macOS and Linux

$ brew install otalite-hq/tap/otalite

$ otalite keygen --out release.seed

public key 3f9a…c21e (keep the seed offline)

$ otalite sign --key release.seed build/app.otb

$ otalite release --product thermo --waves 1,10,50,100

✓ pre-flight passed · wave 1 of 4 waits for approval

Git and CI/CD

Tag it, and it ships.

Connect a repository and we build each tagged release, or sign and release from your own CI/CD pipeline with the GitHub Action.

GitHub

In development

Connect a repository; tag a release and we build it.

Reproducible managed builds

In development

Tag a release and we build it in an isolated, reproducible build.

Later, alongside GitHub.

steps:

- uses: otalite-hq/release-action@v1

with: { product: thermo, waves: '1,10,50,100' }

Example · the planned GitHub Action

The otalite CLI

One CLI for keys, signing and releases.

otalite keygen, sign and release, from your terminal or CI. For macOS and Linux, through Homebrew, a verified install script or cargo.

In development

Release binaries are signed and checksummed

--json on every command, and otalite schema to describe them, for scripts and agents

Keys are generated on your machine; only public keys leave it

Example

# Coming soon

$ brew install otalite-hq/tap/otalite

# for agents and scripts

$ otalite status --product thermo --json

{"release":"1.4.2","wave":2,"confirmed":1204,"rolled_back":3}

$ otalite schema

Example output

Built for your coding agent

Ask your agent to add otalite.

Claude Code, Cursor or Copilot can add OTA updates to your MicroPython project correctly, from instructions we write, version and test.

Example

> Add otalite OTA to this MicroPython project

Reading otalite's AGENTS.md and the Claude Code skill…

✓ Installed the otalite client with mip

✓ Check-ins on each wake, then back to deep sleep (main.py)

✓ Confirms the release once sensors and upload work

✓ Battery target: 12 months on 2,000 mAh

Pre-flight passed · projected 16 months

→ Drafted rollout thermo 1.4.2 · waits for your passkey

Integration prompts

One prompt adds the client, check-ins, deep sleep and a battery target.

AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md

Instructions and Cursor rules, so agents follow otalite's conventions.

Claude Code ESP32 skill

A Claude Code skill for adding OTA updates to MicroPython on ESP32.

otalite init

Writes those instructions into your project in one command.

MCP server

Your agent reads fleet status and reports, and drafts rollouts you approve.

CLI for agents

--json on every command, and otalite schema to describe them.

All In development, and coming soon. llms.txt on our site lets agents read the docs.

When an upstream update needs a code change (Planned), your coding agent can apply the fix from the report, and you approve it.

Recommended

Agents get no publishing rights by default, and never see or create your release signing key. Device keys are provisioned by the CLI, outside the agent's context. A rollout an agent drafts waits for your approval with a passkey.

Lighter option

Give the agent a scoped API token so it can release on its own. The danger: an agent's mistake or a prompt injection could ship code to your devices, and we offer no protection against that.

Mobile app for iOS and Android
