OpenMQTTGateway project goal is to concentrate in one firmware different technologies and protocols, hiding the different technologies singularity behind a simple & wide spread communication protocol.
The ESP Easy firmware can be used to turn the ESP module into an easy multifunction sensor device for Home Automation solutions like Domoticz.




different approach but both are powerful firmware, simple to use, for interfacing iot devices
