(Updated) ESP32 based board targets smart home applications

Sep 25, 2022 — by Giorgio Mendoza 1,103 views

The RelayFi is a soon to be launched board featuring an ESP32-WROOM SoC and 4 channel relays to control up to 4 high-voltage devices. The RelayFi is also compatible with Alexa, Google assistant and other single board computers. 

The RelayFi seems to feature the ESP32-WROOM-32D module which is enabled with 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2. The module also features a low-power coprocessor which can be used instead of the CPU to save power.
