# Smart Torch

Smart Torch is a retro-fit board for a Minecraft LED torch from Aliexpress.
The board design mirrors the original PCB and fits in its place, adding an ESP32-C3 for Wi-Fi connectivity and homeassistant integration. The circuitry is designed with low-power operation in mind.
There's also an optional 5V / 8-12V power input using a 5.5/2.1mm barrel jack.
Ultimately, the board features a "bypass" functionality to allow direct power and switching through the 12V barrel jack with none of smart features and circuitry needed.

If you're building this device, don't forget that the the PCB needs to be 1mm thick to match the original!
