I've been working on some ideas since I discovered those little ESP32
devices.  Long story short, I have a bunch of devices, some for
prototyping and idea validation, but others have found a place at
home, mostly for automation purposes.

All of this started to happen organically.  Some devices use ESP-IDF,
others use Arduino, a bunch of them run AtomVM[fn:01], and I also have
a couple of Nerves-based Raspberry Pis.  The challenge began when
trying to get the different devices to communicate with each other,
and more importantly, to upgrade their firmware versions when new
builds are available.

It's going to be a long journey to find a solution that works for me,
but so far, I've been prototyping ideas that are starting to pay off
and hopefully will write more about this once the design is solid.
