I'd wanted to order a handful more ESP32 microcontrollers from Adafruit a few months ago, but they were entirely out of stock so I put my email address in to be notified when they were available again. A couple of weeks ago I got an email saying "The Feather HUZZAH32 is back in stock! There are 2997 available."
I... think that might be enough, haha. I ordered three and they arrived today. One of the things I want to do is to rig up a physical button that will turn off the LCD displays that are attached to the Raspberry Pis in the lounge room which display the current temperature inside and out, as well as the time. Even though we run them at a significantly-lower-than-maximum brightness, they're still very bright when we turn all the lights off when we're going to sleep. They automatically turn off at midnight and come on at 8am, but sometimes I want to turn them off earlier, and also occasionally I'm up before 8 in the morning and instead of the temperature and time I'm greeted with black displays.
Should be a fun little project!
