Overview

What Scout is

Scout is the compact WestTech Home Automation enclosure family for smaller indoor ESP32 and automation projects where a clean, serviceable enclosure matters more than extra internal room.

Best fit

Scout is a strong fit for DIY projects, compact control applications, sensor nodes, and customers who want a clean enclosure they can use almost anywhere they have power.

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.

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

Scout enclosures are printed in PLA+ 2.0 and are intended for indoor use. The material choice keeps the enclosure practical for clean indoor automation builds without presenting it as outdoor, wet-location, or high-heat rated.

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.
