ESP8266 Milight HUB Case

thingiverse

A compelling argument can be made for the esp8266_milight_hub, available at https://github.com/sidoh/esp8266_milight_hub. This project stands out due to its ability to mimic multiple wifi bridges, allowing users to control an extensive number of lightbulbs with a single device. The components required to build it can be obtained for approximately 10 euros, a substantial cost savings compared to the mi light bridge, which costs 20 euros and is limited to controlling only four bulbs. The ESP board used in this project can be found at https://www.banggood.com/NodeMcu-Lua-WIFI-Internet-Things-Development-Board-Based-ESP8266-CP2102-Wireless-Module-p-1097112.html?rmmds=search. To assemble the enclosure, simply press-fit the box and lid together. It may be necessary to adjust scaling according to printer settings; however, in my experience, they fit nicely without any adjustments.
