The AtomS3 Lite is the controller we use ourselves in most ESPHome projects. An ESP32-S3 with 8 MB flash, a Grove port, an RGB LED and a button under the case, all in a 24 × 24 mm package that fits behind a skirting board or in a small box.
Why it became our standard: it has enough memory for ESPHome without costing more than a basic ESP32 board, it flashes straight over USB-C with no button presses, and the Grove port lets you plug in a sensor in ten seconds.
A USB-C data cable. For sensors: a Grove cable, or Grove-to-Dupont if the sensor has loose pins.
