Justification

While not strictly necessary, adding wireless capabilities to this project can expand the number of possible usages, such as wireless controls or HomeAssistant integrations for fun times

Coprocessor Candidates

  • ESP32c6
    • Native Matter compatibility
    • Lower power than S3
  • ESP32s3
    • Higher power
    • Dual core
  • nRF52
    • Mature platform
    • Lower power than the c6
  • nRF54
    • More recent than the nRF52
    • lower power than the nRF52
    • Not mature platform
    • Harder to program
    • Development kit owned

nRF chips also have the added benefit of being BLE now, plus the capacity to add the 7002 ic later for WiFi capabilites

nRF54 has been selected for the time being, with the nRF7002 as a secondary later in the project for wireless capabilities
