Loaded Setup
Pre-shipment diagnostics and ESP32 Quick Start firmware
Loaded ESP32-based products are prepared before shipment so customers have a clear first setup path instead of receiving a blank board.
Pre-Shipment Diagnostics
Checked before the order goes out
Before a Loaded product ships, WestTech Home Automation performs a basic diagnostic check on the installed ESP32 path. This helps confirm the device powers on, boots correctly, and is ready for the customer setup process.
Quick Start Firmware
Installed for easier first setup
Loaded ESP32-based products ship with WestTech Home Automation ESP32 Quick Start firmware installed. It is designed to make the device easier to find, connect, and verify on your network before you upload your own project firmware.
Why Scout

Best when space matters, wiring is manageable, and you want a small enclosure family you can use almost anywhere indoors as long as power is available.
Buying Direction
Great for DIY, strong for light install work
