Overview

What Ranger is

Ranger is the middle WestTech Home Automation enclosure family for projects that need more internal room than Scout without jumping to the larger Command platform.

Two Ranger paths

Ranger Relay is the relay-oriented option. Ranger Bucks keeps the Ranger footprint while adding a buck-ready layout for power-planning needs.

Unloaded and Loaded wording

Unloaded for your hardware plan

Unloaded is the bring-your-own-hardware path for customers who already know their electronics plan and need the printed enclosure family that fits the project.

Includes the printed enclosure, lid, brass threaded inserts, standard enclosure hardware, and matched insert layout.
Electronics and firmware are not included unless specifically stated in the Tindie listing.

Loaded with Quick Start firmware

Loaded is the pre-assembled path for customers who want the selected ESP32 and breakout-board hardware path handled before shipment. Ranger Relay Loaded adds the relay-oriented hardware path where listed. Ranger Bucks Loaded adds the buck-ready hardware path where listed.

Basic diagnostics are completed before shipment.
WestTech Home Automation ESP32 Quick Start firmware helps customers find, connect, verify, and prepare the device before uploading their own project firmware.

OLED displays, buzzers, sensors, wiring, and power supplies are optional/reference hardware unless the listing specifically includes them.

Tindie listing note: The individual Tindie product listing controls price, checkout, availability, order status, and shipping. This page is product documentation and reference information.

Printed material and serviceability

PLA+ 2.0 printed parts

Ranger enclosures are printed in PLA+ 2.0 and are intended for indoor use. Ranger provides more working room than Scout while keeping the enclosure practical for clean indoor automation and low-voltage project builds.

Brass threaded inserts

Current WestTech Home Automation enclosures use brass threaded inserts at key mounting points. The inserts make the enclosure easier to assemble, reopen, service, and reuse during future hardware changes without wearing out printed plastic screw holes.

Indoor use only. Printed parts are not IP-rated and are not intended for wet, outdoor, high-heat, or direct-sunlight locations.
