Any commercial products using ESP?

You can find the fcc notices in manuals if you search on espressif’s module grantee code which is 2AC7Z. Espressif is extremely widely used.

I think there are plenty using espressif chips. One of my robot vacuums (possibly the Neato?) certainly appeared to be.

Just look for ESP32 CYD - CYD stands for cheap yellow display. There are a lot of variants. https://github.com/witnessmenow/ESP32-Cheap-Yellow-Display?tab=readme-ov-file https://github.com/witnessmenow/ESP32-Cheap-Yellow-Display?t... . I bought mine for about $12 and it's been quite fun tinkering with it.

AFAIK my humidifier uses an ESP32 chip.

A lot of Shelly devices use ESP chips: https://www.shelly.com/ https://www.shelly.com/ - And they are hackable!

https://templates.blakadder.com/esp32.html https://templates.blakadder.com/esp32.html Here’s a list of just a few. They’re insanely popular not only because they’re just good to use, but also because they’re one of the cheaper FCC approved modules you can buy, which takes a lot of the pain out of bringing a product to market.

Yes, many. As a random example, see: https://www.servethehome.com/ubiquiti-flex-mini-2-5g-review-ubiquiti-does-a-cheap-5-port-2-5gbe-switch/ https://www.servethehome.com/ubiquiti-flex-mini-2-5g-review-... The last image on the page shows various chips in the switch, the top left is an ESP32.

  Interesting, seems like they're just using it as a MCU? Specs don't mention anything wireless, and I don't see an antenna.

If you pick a smart device that has WiFi connectivity, then there's about a 50% chance that it has an ESP inside.

Loads, you can usually tell if something is limited to 2.4Ghz only. Cabled up an EVSE the other day and the brains of that was a ESP32 chip.

My "smart" resistive water heater uses an ESP for Wifi connectivity, so it can heat the water when the electricity prices are low for example.

(my older) LIFX bulbs have an Espressif MAC address, and I think LIFX has stated they're ESP32-based in the past
