This board supports modern wireless protocols such as Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz), Bluetooth LE, and Thread (with potential for Zigbee at the chip level). Everything works 100% locally within your own network. No mandatory cloud connections, no subscriptions, and no privacy concerns: your sensor data is guaranteed to remain in-house. With the two existing 14-pin FPC ports, you can even connect two different modules simultaneously to create a versatile multisensor in no time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eModular, Reusable, and Visual No-Code Configuration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGone are the days when you had to write reams of C++ code or complicated YAML configurations. With the new ESPHome Device Builder desktop app, you configure device functions graphically and intuitively. The kit includes four powerful modules: a PIR motion sensor, an accurate AHT20F temperature and humidity sensor, a notification module with 10 RGB LEDs and a piezo buzzer, and a physical push button. Is your project finished or do you want to try something new? You can easily reuse the individual hardware for your next smart idea.
