Panel Families

WestTechHA is building a small ecosystem of ESP32-based panels with an emphasis on reliability, local control, clean wiring, and documentation that installers and DIYers can actually use.

Flagship Panel
Garage Automation Panel (GAP)
Available • Smart garage controller

Designed around ESP32 platforms (Ethernet or Wi‑Fi) with safety-aware logic and a front display option.

  • Garage door relay control with safety-aware auto-close logic
  • Reeds for door state (inside/outside/main), PIR motion, buzzer alerts
  • OLED diagnostics or 20×4 I²C LCD (per model)
Coming Soon
Sprinkler Automation Panel (SAP)
In development • Smart irrigation

Built for zone visibility at the panel and deep Home Assistant integration with a familiar WestTechHA workflow.

  • Front-facing 20×4 LCD zone/status display (planned)
  • Local controls + safety limits (planned)
  • Shared “stable-tested” firmware patterns with GAP
Planned
Main Automation Panel (MAP)
Roadmap • Structured media hub

A structured media enclosure hub for sensor aggregation and relays—built to keep wiring neat and troubleshooting simple.

  • Sensor/relay aggregation in a clean enclosure
  • Ethernet-first options with Wi‑Fi backup
  • Docs-forward install approach
Focused Builds
Basement / Utility Panels (BAP) & Pods
Available/Planned • Targeted enclosures

Smaller panels for dedicated jobs (utility sensing, motion/presence pods, etc.) with the same “clean + documented” mindset.

  • Motion/presence pods and small utility panels
  • Installer-friendly labeling and wiring maps
  • Built to be repeatable and supportable
Service Modes
DIY with Documentation

You build it, wire it, and flash it – using WestTechHA documentation and baseline configs. This is ideal if you’re comfortable with tools but want a known-good map.

  • Wiring maps & GPIO reference pages for each panel.
  • “Stable-tested” ESPHome baselines as starting points.
  • Parts guidance to avoid weird out-of-stock one-offs.
Assisted DIY (Remote)

You do the hands-on work, but want a second brain on layout and firmware:

  • Review your wiring plans and suggest cleaner paths.
  • Help map sensors/relays to the right GPIOs.
  • Assist with Home Assistant entities and automations.

This is where “I don’t want to debug this alone at 1 AM” turns into “okay, that actually makes sense now”.

Full turn-key installs and on-site service are not defined yet, but the design mindset is already there: enclosure versioning, unit IDs, and service-friendly wiring.

Documentation & Service

The Support page focuses on troubleshooting, wiring docs, and known issues. The Service docs go deeper on replacement parts and FRU-style modules.

Over time, each panel (GAP, SAP, MAP, BAP) will get its own wiring map, GPIO page, and “what to replace if X breaks” checklist.

Interested in Working Together?

The easiest way to start is still email. Tell us what you’re building, what gear you already have, and where you’d like to end up.

  • Email: [email protected]
  • Mention which panel family (GAP, SAP, MAP, BAP) you’re thinking about.
  • Include any photos or diagrams you already have – even napkin sketches help.

As your product line hardens, this page can grow into a proper “services catalog” with clear tiers and pricing. For now, it documents how you think about helping people succeed.

You can also use this form to prepare a request. It will open your mail client with the details filled in so you can send it to [email protected].

Tip: until this form is wired up to a backend, you can copy/paste your answers into an email to [email protected].
