esp32 is a great way to fill drawers as well.

shh don't tell all our secrets

I'm just laughing so hard at this thread. I also have a drawer, but with a bunch of Sonoff Home Automation devices. I promise I'll activate them one day!

My wife doesn't have a clever name, but instead of usually rolling her eyes at yet another unfinished project, she loves this particular drawer because it's perfectly (and neatly) organized, like the best of unused item drawers.

Sonoff with Tasmota firmware let you control all your devices easily (increadibly easy). You just need a raspi or a simple(and cheaper) orange pi zero with a mosquitto mqtt server.

This is exactly what I wanted to do. Flash them with Tasmota and have them be HomeKit devices.

There's a collecting factor to it too.

I ordered 2 of those years ago and they are still in the antistatic bag..

I did program one to helloworld over http.

Check out espruino and write the firmware in JS!
