I need to buld a basic wifi switch that can be controlled by HA via mqtt. I just need an output of 3’3v to activate a remote controler. So, I think the easiest way will be a 3’3v powered esp8266 device like an ESP01 flashed with tasmota. But I am not sure if tasmota will fit ESP01 ram, and how difficult is to flash it. So, what is your advise about the best device for that, a symple ESP01, an ESP12, or what?
ESPhome can be a lot leaner in program memory use than Tasmota. Especially if you only have one output in your config. It only compiles what is necessary. Unlike Tasmota that crams everything but the kitchen sink in.
