ESP8266-based touchscreen clock and light controller with WiFi

Spiros Papadimitriou build a nice clock based on ESP8266 Wifi and 2.4" LCD module. He writes: This was a week-long hack, to build a simple touchscreen clock, with the following features: Graphical UI with touch (no buttons) Clock synchronization over NTP Ability to control WiFi-connected LED lamps Web-based configuration UI This project was partly inspired by the Chumby (remember that?) and by our old X10 light controller (remember those!?).

This project was partly inspired by the Chumby (remember that?) and by our old X10 light controller (remember those!?). Current iteration’s cost is probably comparable to a used Chumby (which also has a lot more features), but it’s more fun this way. 🙂 However, the cost could be taken down to ~$10.
