I feel like me ordering a half dozen of these to control lights and sprinklers or random network pi-holes is the equivalent of the toast buttering robot on rick and morty. poor things will never live to their potential, but here we are.
All mine does is run pi-hole. It’s doomed to ad purgatory.
I can recommend using the Pi Zero and Zero 2. Especially the Zero 2 is quite powerful, cheap and compact.
For that an ESP is plenty at even cheaper
This is the best way. A raspberry pi is way more suited to managing the entire network of devices than turning a relay on and off.
