Maestro Board + NFC8

The Maestro is a ESP32-based automation board with built-in ethernet, IO, and peripherals built to ensure your project is automated quickly and easily. With x4 inputs, x4 outputs, x1 Relay, you have everything you need in one package.

Pair the Maestro with it's flagship partner, the NFC8 Expansion Board for your first multi-channel, networked NFC reader. No more wiring a million relays together in series! Create a puzzle with up to 8 NFC tags and see your guests interact with it in real-time via M3 or it's native webserver down a single ethernet cable. No programming necessary.

No network capabilities? No problem. The Maestro & NFC8 work locally. Just click the program button and the board memorizes the current puzzle configuration. 

Want more? Both can be programmed using the recommended ESPHome or other compatible framework. Hardware definition YAML file for ESPHome available that sets up all on board IO.
