I have a few Wemo devices that have been obsoleted by Belkin. The lights are zigbee so paired just fine with the sky connect dongle. this is the controller, I pulled the board with the now dumb smarts out and in the base is a nice 3.3v power supply. so printed a separator from the scary voltage, and reused the headers to bring the low voltage up to the esp32. I needed a Bluetooth proxy in the lounge for a few Shelly remotes I picked up.
Isn't still the ESP-8266 still cheaper ☺️ ?
I made a webserver on one back in the day.
Wild they are all so cheap nowadays, makes me want to do some weird network thing with a handfull of them.
Yeah the 8266 is cheaper but very limited in ram and only does 2.4ghz WiFi
