Description

I have a Wemos D1 Mini and when I click on "Connect" at this link, https://esphome.github.io/esp-web-tools/, the Chrome browser identifies the port. But when I try to flash, it fails.

Googling I found that I have to click the RESET button during or right before the flashing happens - Tried all that

Strangely- I can Upload sketch from Arduino thru the same port when I go File-> Examples -> ESP8266 sketches.

I'm running

Mac OS

However, I can upload sketches thru the Arduino IDE - See the USB port identified correctly and it works but the ESPWeb tools fails !
