The ESP32-CAM module at GrowlyBox's core is more than a microcontroller — it embodies a philosophy. Open-source hardware and software give users freedom no other smart device offers.
Why ESP32? Dual-core 240 MHz processor, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, ultra-low power (10 µA deep sleep), integrated camera, massive community support, easily replaceable.
Open protocol: GrowlyBox's control protocol is documented. You can write your own app, integrate with Home Assistant, update firmware yourself, or add third-party sensors.
Subscription-free: Firmware runs on the device itself. All data stays on local network. Works even if the company changes policies.
