The ESP8266 has powerful on-board processing and storage capabilities that allow it to be used with sensors and other application specific devices through its GPIOs with minimal development up-front and minimal loading during runtime. Its high degree of on-chip integration allows for minimal external circuitry. The entire solution, including the module, is designed to occupy minimal PCB area.
