Been singing the virtues of the ESP8266 for a long time now, for edge device creation there hard to beat, really cheap, easy to program, easy to add sensors and now can even be programed with easy from an Arduino IDE

What more can you ask for

Ah, I know, an ITEAD Studio Sonoff, there are loads of CE approved safe models to choose from, all dirt cheap and all based on ESP8266 core. Oh and easy to add to your own home network rather than rely on the Site from ITEAD.

Mains Control (Single and Dual Channel)

Lighting Control

Temperature Sensors

Environmental Sensor

Touch Light Switch

LED Light Strip

etc

I have reviewed many of them on my youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/thebreadboardca as has my friend Peter Scargill at http://tech.scargill.net

Unfortunately E14 does not sell these complete modules but as Cabe has stated, there are some core modules now available on the E14 store. You can make your own really inexpensively
