Most devices should be very safe to use as they run with batteries, low voltages (e.g. USB) or normal mains voltage plugs.

Warning: A few devices below require installation to 110/230V mains voltage with bare wires. Making mistakes can kill you here. Work with mains voltage wires only, if you really know what you are doing!

• ESP32 & ESP8266 - are used to control various DIY electronics over Wifi
• ESP32 - used as DIY Wifi to Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) bridge (for Xiaomi Mijia "LYWSD03MMC")
• ESP32 - used as DIY Wifi to Bluetooth proxy (for Oral-B "Genius X" and LED strip controller)
