I've found it to be nearly unusable. The opaque firmware generation is an anti-feature IMO. It also doesn't fucking work. If you change the config, you have to force a full clean and rebuild or you'll get a corrupt image. Building an esp firmware image from scratch takes several minutes every time you want to change a config.

All of the provided controls are bad. It's incredibly difficult to get it on the network. The documentation is laughable.

It took me three hours to get a simple RGB strip working. All it had to do was drive three PWM signals. The esp has hardware specifically for that. It took a lot of effort to even find out how to use the LEDC hardware, much less how to assign a pin and hook it to the color picker.

I also wanted to hang an IR LED off it to control my TV and such. No sort of configurable button panel, you get one giant widget per action.

I did eventually get it working, but honestly it would have been so much faster to just write my own firmware to talk to HA directly.
