    Hi, could you tell me the kinds of IoT projects you dabble in? I have always wanted to use the ESP32 and other microcontrollers and build something useful but I can’t really find any ideas/lack technical expertise. Would be great to know what you’re working on/the projects you have built and what they are used for.

    Thanks!

      There’s an existing project made by a youtuber called Dave Plummer. He made a project that controls a strip light using the FastLED library where he made several effects here. You can fork or straight up copy his project. There is also the MQTT library where you can communicate withyoutr ESP32 in a very simple and mature protocol so you can do some crazy things there, like controlling a solid state relay for lights or something.
