ESP32

An ESP32 board is the brain of a DIY smart-home build: a small computer with Wi-Fi that reads sensors and sends the values to Home Assistant. The boards here come from M5Stack, have USB-C and a Grove port, and are programmed with ESPHome, Arduino or PlatformIO. Not sure which to choose? The AtomS3 Lite is enough for most sensor projects. The NanoC6 is the choice if you want to try Zigbee, Thread or Matter.
