TrigBoard – Ultra low power ESP8266 IoT platform
The trigBoard is an IoT project that does one thing - it pushes you a notification triggered by a digital input. Well, it's much more than that, but this is the inspiration. I wanted to design a WiFi board that essentially sleeps most of its life, but when that door switch, flood...

Simple LED matrix Clock based on the popular ESP8266 with Real Time Clock module and time synchronization over WiFi from an NTP server. One note on the RTC module, apparently it also has the ability to charge the battery, however that's not a good idea when using a CR2032. One possible...
