Long time home automation guy; absolutely love ESPHome!!

It's become the glue for so many non-connected and re-connected devices.

$4usd esp8266 adds WiFi to anything. $8 esp32 adds BT and WiFi to anything.

OR reuse/take over any of thousand of existing devices that already use ESPs. IOT Light bulbs, wall switches, air quality devices... It's amazing how many new devices/sensors get added to each version.

My favorite project is adding wifi and temp/humid sensing to the IKEA $10 air sensor. We have them in every room.

Thank you ESPHome devs!!!!
