I hope I’m not breaking any forum rules by posting this. I’m a recent convert to Home Assistant and have been using ESPhome to configure some add-ons. I found it really useful to integrate the relay outputs from my security cameras, much more useful than a certain alarm panel board that I imported from the US. The only part I didn’t like was using a breadboard with jumper wires for something that I wanted to rely upon. I co-own a small electronics company so we looked at creating a PCB to meet my own needs and several versions later we have a small run for sale if anyone else is interested. It just runs each GPIO out to a screw terminal and the whole lot can fit into a Hammond project case if you like. Details here
Thanks I’ve ordered one
If you could get the price down to around £8-10 o think you’d sell a lot of those.
Any thoughts on making one for esp8266 node MCU?
Many thanks Samuel. At the moment we’ve only hand assembled a few but if there’s enough interest and we can achieve some volume certainly we can drive the cost down a little, perhaps omit the IR sensor too. An ESP8266 board is certainly do-able as well, we’ll run some costings.
Thanks Tom, I have used them before. The bare PCB prices and quality are good but their component and assembly prices not so much.
