- KeplerBoy 3y agoSo be it. That would still be fine for some applications.

- londons_explore 3y agoIndeed - the target of this device is lowish cost IoT. Things like $20 "wifi doorbell"'s. The esp8266 range is for ultra low cost wifi - things like $5 "wifi bulb"'s
- KeplerBoy 3y agoThere's also room for mains powered ultra low cost wifi appliances. Think about fans or air humidifiers.
