Download a screen's firmware and put it on from your own computer (0.2.68)
GitHub issue #8: Home Assistant on a server or virtual machine is out of reach of the screen. New screen and Firmware & USB get a Download choice: ESP Screens builds the profile's firmware as always and offers ESPHome's factory image, which the owner flashes with ESPHome Web in Chrome or Edge. - Firmware: a download job compiles without uploading; only the image of the profile's latest successful build in this process is served, a new job withdraws it, and a build without a factory image fails. - USB on the Home Assistant machine stays first in both lists, also before a board is plugged in; Download and Later stay chosen once picked. - The not-yet-in-Home-Assistant card knows a downloaded screen. - The device name pattern is valid again under Chrome's v flag. - Docs: README, DOCS, EASY_SETUP, DOCKER, TROUBLESHOOTING. App only; firmware stays 0.2.58. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
