When I first wrote the dream of a new MPU as the Ti CC3200 it was more to spark conversation than anything else. Yes we have been experimenting with the ESP8266 as a co-processor add-on to existing OpenEVSE designs. That work is 100% compatible, consider it an add-on.
Do you have some concerns, any worries?
The 50A kit has a I2C, SPI and TTL Serial port so all kinds of devices can be added. The ESP8266 connects to the Serial port and is behind developed on the OpenEVSE v4 (50A kit).
