It's originally intended as a commercial product to make smart home type stuff and the hobby interest is a bit of a lucky accident. It's still pretty new by industry standards so it's just starting to appear in products, mostly very cheap wifi-enabled plugs and stuff. Itead makes a pretty sweet wifi-enabled switch for about $6.00 shipped that is hackable to put your own tailor made firmware on. Pete Scargill has a great writeup on them and I have one myself that I put in the wall to control my overhead lights. They're remarkably well made for how cheap they are. > http://tech.scargill.net/itead-slampher-and-sonoff/ http://tech.scargill.net/itead-slampher-and-sonoff/
