I just got these in from China after waiting almost 3 months for them. Glad I ordered 4 as I set up one on a breadboard with a few LED's, a relay and a PIR sensor to test inputs and outputs... I easily set up the configuration within the plugin, programmed the NodeMCU (this was probably the hardest part), and once that was done wrote a few dummy events to test inputs and outputs. The fact that you can plug in a device anywhere in range of your wifi network and have it control outputs or transmit the status of inputs for $4-5/ea...absolutely insane!
For example I have a MimoLite that cost nearly $80 in my shed on a solar/battery setup that controls a LED strip as well as has a DSC motion sensor as an input. That way I can have quality lighting in my shed when I need it (Homeseer limits it to 30 minutes of use a day, so I don't overly discharge the battery) and the motion sensor for security of contents in my shed. All for the low price of $80 + $15 for the motion sensor. Now I can do so much more with NodeMCU ($4-5) and a relay board for ($10) than a MimoLite ever could!
Will there be the possibility for PWM control for RGB LED's with this module? Bandwidth limitation? I had one neat application that I would like to use it for but if it isn't possible it's not that big of a deal.
