I am working on a WLED project, using a esp32 in a 3d printed enclosere. But my dad says that i can’t install it because it is not UL listed. He is worried if the house burns down, the insurance company won’t insure it due to diy electronics possibly starting a fire. What am i to do, i am not developing a project to sell?
Look into the Shelly switches. You connect through wifi and Bluetooth but it’s an open device in terms of how you run it.
It has an esp8226 inside but it’s ul listed and fits inside the switch housing. You won’t have wires running into a socket and it won’t look ‘dangerous’ per say.
