I feel like me ordering a half dozen of these to control lights and sprinklers or random network pi-holes is the equivalent of the toast buttering robot on rick and morty. poor things will never live to their potential, but here we are.
I can recommend using the Pi Zero and Zero 2. Especially the Zero 2 is quite powerful, cheap and compact.
For that an ESP is plenty at even cheaper
This is the best way. A raspberry pi is way more suited to managing the entire network of devices than turning a relay on and off.
