New ESP gadget

Probably never got booted into flash mode.

I thought that as well. So I double-checked all connections.
Also, when I start the unit without GPIO0 connected to ground, I can see the blue LED flash twice quickly. When I start the unit with GPIO0 low, it only blinks once. So there definitely is a difference...

Always remember Ruskin's rule:

"There is hardly anything in the world that someone cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price alone are that person's lawful prey. It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money – that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot – it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better."

(John Ruskin)

The long version of the good old German saying "Wer billig kauft, kauft zwei mal", --> If you buy cheap, you buy twice. I concur

You run into a tricky area considering the definition of the word "cheap".
Expensive: a 25000 Euro car that depreciates 40% in the first year.
Cheap: a 35000 Euro car that depreciates 20% in the first year.
I've seen examples of both. My point: price alone does not determine if a product is cheap or expensive.
Especially with the quickly dropping prices of Chinese hardware, it makes sense to keep an eye on new items and check them out.

I've found a very nice looking 27x19x18mm sized ESP8266 module with one relay and one touch button.

I currently using Sonoff Touch and Sonoff T1 for Lighting Control, so i do not see any use case for me, but still it is a very compact unit. Maybe for a smart smart 230V extension cable..
But as i see the RX and TX is near the crystal and not an easy task to solder it.

I found a new device, looks like a redesigned Sonoff S20..
"WAZA Wifi Smart EU Plug Power Socket"
Anyone has it? I wonder if it could be flashed?

Cool one You get also quite a lot of additional sensors.
Might be funny playground for making door entry keypad with display

Does ESP Easy support the display?

The display is an SPI connected ST7789V so i guess not.
