📌 What Is MultiSensor-V2? MultiSensor-V2 is pkhodak's voice-capable revision of Carletz's original MultiSensor. Both are open hardware room nodes built around ESP32-S3, W5500 wired Ethernet, PoE power, environmental sensing, presence detection, and infrared control. V2 does not replace the original network design. It keeps the same W5500 and even the same six ESPHome pin assignments, then expands the board around that stable wired backbone. The main additions are a higher-output PoE module, updated sensors, two microphones, a speaker amplifier, an RGBW status LED, IR reception, modular…
