Excellent device! The build quality is terrific actually.
Was able to flash with Esphome firmware and connect to Home assistant.
Has been stable for a week on a Unifi wifi AP.
Only downside I found was a high pitched whine from the outlet when the relay is off. Noise goes away when relay is on. I suspect their low voltage power supply is a switcher type which are notorious for the whine at low loads.

I came here for the Tasmota, and left with the nicest wifi switches I've found.
The build quality is excellent, and the feel of the momentary switch itself is very sastisfying. While it may sound odd to say that a pushbutton is satisfying, these have excellent tactile feedback, so you know you cycled the switch. Others that I've tried are mushy, or don't click or otherwise have good tactile feedback. These do!
Wiring is much simpler than with in box relays, and that's also a plus.
Packaging is excellent, too.
I've had a few of these installed for just over a year, and I'm back for more.

Terrific switch for the price, love it, just has some teething issues that hopefully can be fixed in software.
Pros:
- Easy installation thanks to low depth, no problems with crowded switch boxes
- Open software choice == longterm support possible, much better than the Ubiquity MFI switch disaster
- Information about the hardware is provided to overcome challenges, such as the ones below

Cons:
- Noticeable delay from button press to relays switching. No delay for remote relay switching. Bad debouncing approach?
- The ESPHome template seems to have issues. After fixing some entries that have changed in the current version of ESPhome, I was able to flash it with the Tasmota OTA function. The switch and the LED worked, and remote switching of the LED worked as well, but the relay did not act at all. Maybe a GPIO reference is wrong?
- The flashed ESPHome image failed to do any OTA. This may have been caused by the reference to the esp32-c3-devkitm-1 board, as the flashed ESPHome reported 4MB of flash even though the WBS3 module has only 2MB of flash memory. I was able to restore function by soldering wires to the UART pins of the module and directly flashing the Tasmota image again.
