The ESP32-S2 firmware’s binary files are available on Github, and the instructions to get started with ESPHome can be found on Github.io. Note this requires Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, and Firefox does not work. You can check out how to get started in the video below.
Considering the device is supposed to handle up to 32A and connect to the mains, I was quite surprised the company did not provide any information about safety, either through specific measures taken during PCB design or safety certifications like TUV or ETL.
