Oh I prob took this too literally as was like why would I install tasmota to OTA to esphome ?!? I guess it was just if I wanted to swap.
I am 54 (An age when I have to look at the calendar for some quick math)
I am often caught flashing 
but yeah OTA is super handy
Its definitely proprietary by definition as both open and closed source can be proprietary, still curious to this, just because its open doesn’t mean its not proprietary.
Just some feedback as device qty I went on
Tasmota https://templates.blakadder.com/ and at 1st glance there seems to be more than
https://esphome.io/ but bear in mind it was just 1st impressions I think its just that much front of house was modules/boards and turned off as find the made for cases so much less hassle and strangely often find its cheaper than trying to find a housing yourself dunno why plastic boxes seem to cost so much when not wrapping a product.
So yeah I was talking end product rather than microcontroller but also got in my head that was true as it seemed to be very esp82xx
Its sort not correct yeah the 1st version was but the latest version 5 is a few years or something?
Also unencrypted MQTT port is 1883 encrypted TLS port is 8883? with payload encryption also but its choice whether to employ not that it doesn’t have?
Sort of undecided on that one being honest it just sounds a bit like choice words than reality, doesn’t matter but being honest my eyebrows are still slightly raised on this one
So like usual but often when your just reading up and getting 1st impressions you can often go wrong
Also I am not arguing just saying what I think as it will just take time to absorb.
On another note I have these for sale and to get rid prepared to do some one a deal. Which I just thought of at this minute as was going to bung em on ebay but someone might want 1st dibs and will go to a good home.
esp32-s3-wroom-2, esp32-s3-wroom-1 N32R8V think the other is N8R2
esp32-s3-box, esp32-s3-box-lite.
I got the esp32-s3-box as I was thinking I could hack that out to use 2x I2S mics but it uses a 3rd ADC from the DAC for the AEC so my idea came to an end.
I then got a esp32-s3-box-lite as they must of realised they could just count the clock cycles of the I2S output and just use a 2 channel ADC, which prob means you can hack in a 2x I2S mics on a normal dev board.
I have got the tensflow part of KWS dataset and building off to quite a fine art as to boot the relatively crappy hi-esp model and replace with a custom, but you just know when something is going to gather dust.
ÂŁ50 for the lot but otherwise it will just be an ebay auction might be less might be more dunno.
I have done quite a bit of work with the Pi and did a delay-sum beamformer on the Pi with some hacky C/C++ ProjectEars/ds at main · StuartIanNaylor/ProjectEars · GitHub
Someone here might be interested in checking out the new box framework.
I think its not worth the load as you can prob fit KWS & websocket single mic broadcast on a core and esphome device on the other. Its just better to have a single mic on a device not playing audio as the resonance even with the best AEC is cruel.
My idea of a distributed array of mic devices using softmax to get the best one of a common model still is good but you know when something is going to gather dust.
Doesn’t matter as they where going on ebay but as I was replying I just thought hey one of you guys might be interested.
