    Looks good, but it'll probably take a while until it's anywhere close to the coverage of existing repositories:

    https://templates.blakadder.com/ has almost 3,000 devices flashable onto Tasmota firmware.

    For older Tuya devices there's https://github.com/tuya-cloudcutter/tuya-cloudcutter

    OpenBeken https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App covers 800 of the newer generation Tuya devices.

    And there's a large community adapting ESP32 devices onto https://esphome.io/

    Feels weird to advertise a microcontroller dev board this way. But the other stuff is cool

      Yeah, it's worse, half of the devices on that list are peripherals that cannot be flashed with any firmware.

    more often than not, you could just buy the same CPU on the open market and swap it in.

    It won’t have any restrictions if it’s a fresh CPU

    There are another ~3k devices on the OpenWRT table of hardware that would fall into this category: https://toh.openwrt.org/

    Also, prices for everything is 1.5 - 2.5X.

      I wonder what (api?) creators are using to programmatically calculate this pricing.

        I strongly feel that each board should display pricing in two ways 1. Market price. buy now price. 2. Get it used (used market price).
