What should an ESP32 with a display cost? It seems like the chip itself is a couple bucks, but the combo of ESP32 + display is around $40. Is there a way to do it cheaper? Put it together myself?
I got 3 esp32 and a screen on amazon for about 20$. It seemed to be the cheapest I found.
Look into the CYD variants, usually can get for less than $15

Can also easily integrate with home assistant.
