Adafruit FunHouse - WiFi Home Automation Development Board
The Adafruit FunHouse is a WiFi-connected home automation development board powered by the ESP32-S2 processor. With built-in sensors, a colour display, and multiple plug-and-play connectors, it makes creating internet-powered smart home projects easy — with little or no soldering required.
The ESP32-S2 supports both CircuitPython and Arduino, with native USB so it can act as a keyboard, MIDI device, or disk drive. While it doesn't include BLE, it offers robust WiFi with SSL support and 2 MB of PSRAM for handling large data buffers. Three STEMMA JST-PH ports accept digital and analog I/O boards, and a STEMMA QT port connects any I²C device.
