What is Espressif wifi device? Mac address identifies it as a Wyze device. I have identified all of my Wyze devices, lightbulbs, plugs, camera, etc. So what is Espressif? Just turned it off to see what happens.

Espressif is used by a lot of IoT devices in the smart technology arena. A lot of companies use this to integrate their devices. For example: The Garage Door Opener “RatGDO” uses Espressif to allow it to control not only the Garage Door, but also interact with your home. I believe Wyze uses this…

My washer/dryer combo at the cottage uses Espressif, it shows into my router as a device even though my washer/dryer is not an IoT appliance. I just blocked it as it is not of any use. I’m guessing the manufacturer used that particular semiconductor for future scalability.
