* Commercial devices
- Tuya devices tend to use [[id:d97fde4a-0e91-40f9-ac57-d0cd67295d14][ESP8266]] microcontrollers under the hood and can be
  converted to use other firmwares by abusing their easy-mode wireless discovery
  with [[https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert][tuya-convert]]. Unfortunately, newer Tuya firmwares render this method
  unusable, and some devices no longer use ESPs.
* DIY devices
[[id:659c836d-0934-4496-a163-a51ccaccc117][ESPHome]] is a great platform for programming [[id:c412e81c-9271-4224-89b7-315a4b89968e][Microcontrollers]] in custom-built
devices.
