+## Building for different devices
+
+This project supports ESP8266 and ESP32 platforms however your target device will need at least a 1MB flash chip to support OTA programming.
+
+By default this project is configured to build for the esp12e device. This is an esp8266 device with 4MB of flash. The following config in platformio.ini configures the build:
+
+```
+[env:esp12e]
+platform = espressif8266
+board = esp12e
+```
+
+If you want to build for an ESP32 device, all you need to do is re-configure playformio.ini with your devices settings:
+
+```
+[env:node32s]
+platform = espressif32
+board = node32s
+```
+
+Microcontroller	ESP8266
+Frequency	80MHz
+Flash	4MBl
+
 ## Configuration & Deployment
 
 Standard configuration settings, such as build flags, libraries and device configuration can be found in platformio.ini. See the [PlatformIO docs](http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/projectconf.html) for full details on what you can do with this.
