I recently brought 3 of these NodeMCU dev kits for playing around with, building some remote sensors over WiFi. The options are huge with 10 GPIO pins to play with.
I2C - Sensors
PWM - Senors
1 wire - Sensors
GPIO - connect relays etc..
Covers off most sensors you would want to connect.

Installing ESPHome on the Rollease Acmeda Pulse 2 Hub
The Rollease Acmeda Pulse 2 Hub can be repurposed into a powerful ESPHome-based ARC bridge by flashing custom firmware directly onto its onboard ESP32-D0WD-V3 module.
This allows direct serial communication with ARC-protocol blind motors, removing the need for the original cloud firmware or mobile app.
