I’m using an s3 with esphome which uses platformio which uses esp-idf and it usb flashes fine too.



I'm interested in what other people are doing with esphome. I am using pretty cheap 8266es to do distributed sensing around the house, but what are you doing that requires the S3? It was my impression that it was decently more expensive?


Nothing in particular that requires an S3. I’m just running a Bluetooth proxy for home assistant, which can run on a basic esp32.


The one thing the S3 has that others don't is the LX7 micro, and it's vector extensions. This can be used to speed up computer vision tasks if you're using presence detection... but really theres better choices for that haha
