Seeeduino XIAO is a tiny Arduino compatible board based on Microchip's ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU. Measuring just 2x1.7x0.35 cm, it is low power, comes with 11 GPIO pins and a big features pack, thus making it almost perfect for many IoT/WoT projects.
Home Automation is made simple for everyone, with the industrial grade PRODINo ESP8266 based module. It can be programmed with the Arduino IDE and allows to control (ON/OFF switch) mains (110-240 VAC) powered devices such as light bulbs, water pumps, cafe machines or garage doors.
As opposed to the less powerful Arduino, the competitively priced and WiFi-enabled ESP8266 supports the Web-of-Things (WoT) since it can be programmed in JavaScript.
