A collection of Tasmota configurations for devices, many of which can also run ESPHome:

I guess https://devices.esphome.io/. Not really sure.

Yeah it's incredibly hard to reuse the chips in consumer devices with the exception of those that run on the ESP8266 and ESP32 platforms.

As someone who’s not clued on about templates etc Tasmota offers a more cut and paste solution than ESPHome. Although https://www.esphome-devices.com seems to be growing nicely now.

There is a lot of great retail hardware with ESP chips out in the market. The above site is a collection of ESPHome configurations for a lot of that hardware.

Do you know any specialised sites on ESP8266- / ESP32- powered consumer devices with curated, clear listings like (but another ones) https://www.esphome-devices.com/ and how you use it?

All of my office devices are connected to Sonoff S31 smart plugs, flashed with Tasmota on their own locked-down VLAN, and can be controlled via voice, Alexa, Tasker automation on my Android, NFC tags at my office door and various scripts triggered via my StreamDeck (on Linux). This all works fantastic, and I can turn on or off my devices, including my printer, when I start or end my day at work.

The best alternative firmware example for true IOT devices is Tasmota [1]. Erase manufacturer firmware for every ESP devices the day after purchase to avoid those careless manufacturer firmwares.

The ESP8266 based Sonoff S31 and ESP32 based Switchbot plugs, both flashed with either Tasmota or ESPHome, are my go-to options for US WiFi smart plugs with power monitoring.

And if you want to turn your ESP8266 into a standalone appliance, with a web interface and directly editable config that doesn't need a build step, Tasmota is another great option.
