For Christmas I received a Nest Thermostat. This thing is a little bit of awesomeness that I have fell in love with…. Of course now I can control the temperature of my house I’m off on a kick to automate my whole home! To that end, I’ve ordered these cheap little bad boys: Sonoff WiFi Wireless Smart Switches! At 5 bucks a pop I’m having a very hard time not considering wiring these into all of my wall outlets… 10A is sufficient for the majority of my light systems.
These switches leverage the ESP8266 SOC…. I’m cataloging useful links here:
