I’m looking for a radio alarm clock project that I could do with a Raspberry Pi or a NodeMCU (ESP32/ESP8266), a small LCD screen and a small speaker.
Do you have any ideas? Does it exist? If not, how should I approach the project? Any advice on speakers for the Raspberry Pi?
You are right, it is a big issue, especially with all those tuya variants. Which is exactly why I recommended shelly. :)
The shellys do come with an embedded web server to access it’s features locally, even MQTT is possible in the dedault firmware. And if you truly dislike propietary software/firmware it is also possible to upload your own firmwares (tasmota or esphome) without any soldering needed
