Wondering if ESPHome can use something other than WIFI for communication?
Perhaps either 433mhz messages to a base station, or even LoRa?
Another idea would be a sensor node that transmits over 433mhz, and a receiver node that bridges the 433mhz back to WIFI- just an idea.
I’ve got an application where the sensor node will be out of WIFI range, and need another way to communicate.
I have some network wired ESPHome modules that work great and don’t use at all Wifi ! You still need an interface as ESP can’t connect at Ethernet straight but you find easily some Ethernet modules to wire with ESP or all made products like Kincon for example !
