Wled: Feature request? Is there a way to determine what ESP a WLED is running on?

Now with the new software the problem of the past is back. I can't remember what ESP I've used in which lights, so how do I found out what it is before I try to update it OTA?
Can it be seen somewhere, or can it be implemented so you choose the right software package???
This goes both for architecture and 'special builds' for pin numbers. Some of my WLED installations is difficult to get to, not impossible of course, but it would be nice to have a hint in the UI to what version we need to choose.

Sure, I understand, that might be problematic and I will add this data to a new upcoming info section in the UI :)
You can get some limited info by opening [WLED ESP IP address]/json/info in your browser.
Look for "pin":[2], this will tell you the led pin used. Note this only works for WS281x builds, APA102 and analog LEDs will say 2 despite using different pins.
Also, there is an "arch":"esp8266" property, it will tell you if the installation is 8266 or 32. Unfortunately it doesn't give you any info to distinguish between 1mb and 4mb flash esp8266 modules.
I hope it will be of a bit of help regardless :)

Wow, that helps a LOT, thankyou very much. I hope you will include the info in the GUI in future builds, or maybe even have some sort of check that you are using the right firmware (I messed up a esp8266 yesterday by adding a esp32 firmware to it :-o ).
