Really hoping the esp32 and other newer, affordable hardware works out. Been trying to hook a esp8266 device to AWS, but with only 80K of total RAM and ~20K needed to establish a tls1.2 connection, it doesn't leave much room.<p>The other problem I really dislike with all these devices is the dependence on cloud or an app. Both of those things are hard to support, so you are dooming yourself to a device that will only last 3 to 5 years tops.<p>For example, house things should last awhile. Sprinkler controller, garage door opener, generator, etc. Nobody wants a monthly fee for each one or to have to replace em every few years.
