Custom.h include problem

[mackowiakp]

I am trying to compile FW for SonOff based on 8285/1M with own set of sensors/defaults.
Environment of compilation - Linux Mageia 8, Code + Platformio. All up-to-date.
In ESPEasy-mega-20221224, I don't see any option to select 8285 processor in Platformio. There is only ready FW binary for 8185.
Perhaps I am doing something wrong - please advise.
So I try with ESPEasy_ESP82xx_mega-20211224. It compiles but doesn't take into account my Custom.h file.
I've been using this file for 3 years and it's always been OK.
Does not help Platfornio console command -> export PLATFORMIO_BUILD_FLAGS="'-DUSE_CUSTOM_H'"
I would like some advice on what I am doing wrong.

Form VSCode you can select one of the Custom environments (probably custom_ESP8266_1M) to build that set. As described in the Developers guide
For running on an ESP8285 you can use the ESP8266 build, it will auto-detect it is running on an ESP8285, and act accordingly.

Does ESPEasy-mega-20221224 really support ESP8285? I am not sure.

Yes, it does.

Edit:
From the README.md

As long as you take a PlatformIO env for 1M ESP8266, then it should work.

THX for answers. Will try when will be back home weekend.
I will forward the results

OK, I checked. Build ESP_Easy_mega_20230207_custom_ESP8266_1M works correctly on ESP8285.

Thanks for the feedback

[TD-er]

Just curious, as there do exist 2M ESP8285 modules...
Is this a rather new unit? And if so, can you check the sysinfo page to see what (real) flash size is detected?
Also, does it properly report an ESP8285?

[mackowiakp]

Is this a new module - I don't know. I just bought the SonOff Dual that was in the store.
Below is a copy/paste of the entire "Main" menu.
As you can see the processor is detected correctly.

Thanks.
Is indeed reporting it as an ESP8285 and 1M flash.

I was just wondering whether those 2M ESP8285 actually do exist in the wild, as I only "know" about their existence from the Espressif datasheets.

Ah, good to know they really do exist
