Product Description

The Apollo Automation ESPHome Starter Kit is the easiest way to begin building your own smart home devices — no soldering, no breadboards, and no coding experience required. Simply plug in a module, configure it using the visual ESPHome Device Builder, and you're ready to go. The kit runs on the ESP32-C6-MINI-1 chipset and supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth LE, Thread, and Zigbee for advanced users. Use it standalone or connect it to Home Assistant for deeper, more powerful automations. Everything runs locally with no cloud dependency, no subscriptions, and no accounts needed. The kit includes the ESPHome C6 Board, a starter module board, a PIR motion sensor, three FPC ribbon cables, and an ESPHome Casita stand. Two FPC expansion ports let you run any two modules simultaneously as a multisensor. Powered via USB-C with optional LiPo battery support, this open hardware platform is fully repurposable and modifiable. A comprehensive Learning Wiki helps you build real skills as you go. A majority of profits support the Open Home Foundation.
