EMWaver Air · runs on any ESP32-S3
Capture, decode,and replay signalsfrom anywhere.
EMWaver Air is a cloud-connected sub-GHz, infrared, and GPIO lab on a single board. Power it on, open emwaver.ai, and explore real hardware — on the Air, or any ESP32-S3 board you already own. No app to install, no driver to hunt.

The platform
One platform, any ESP32-S3, one browser.
01 · The device
One board. RF, infrared, and GPIO.
ESP32-S3 · CC1101 433 MHz · IR RX/TX.
A single all-in-one board: a sub-GHz radio with a 433 MHz chip antenna, an IR receiver with dual IR LEDs, and expansion headers for SPI/I²C/UART add-ons. The firmware owns the microsecond-tight timing, so your scripts never have to.

02 · Web-native
The browser is the runtime.
Open emwaver.ai. Nothing to install.
The web app runs the canonical .emw JavaScript + JSX engine, renders each script's UI, and holds your captures. No native app, no toolchain, no driver hunt — just a tab.

03 · Control from anywhere
Your Air dials home.
An outbound wss relay pairs device and browser.
No port forwarding, no firewall holes. The Air opens a secure WebSocket to emwaver.ai and a relay pairs it to your browser — so you can capture and retransmit from across the room or across the world.

Specifications
Bench-grade hardware, pocket-sized.
These are the EMWaver Air's specs. The platform itself — firmware, relay, and the browser app — runs on any ESP32-S3, so you can also flash a board you already own and bring whatever radios and modules you wire up.

EMWaver Air vs Flipper Zero vs Arduino
The Air is a Flipper-class explorer that trades the cramped handheld and the firmware-flash loop for a real browser UI and a cloud-paired link. Don't want the dedicated board? The same platform runs on any ESP32-S3 you already own.

Bring your own board
The Air is the easy path — not the only one.
EMWaver is a platform, not just a board. The firmware, the wss relay, and the browser app all run on any ESP32-S3 — so you can buy a finished Air for the all-in-one experience, or flash a dev kit or your own design and get the same cloud-paired signal lab.
Any ESP32-S3
Dev kits, custom boards, your own PCB — if it's an ESP32-S3, the EMWaver firmware runs on it.
Flash once
Point the board at the relay, flash the firmware over USB-C, and it dials emwaver.ai like an Air.
Same browser app
The .emw engine, live plots, and the Continual agent work the same — your board just appears as a device.
Wire your own radios
Bring a CC1101, an NRF24L01, an RC522, IR LEDs — drive them from scripts over SPI/I²C/UART/GPIO.
Get started
From box to first capture in three steps.
Meet the EMWaver Air.
One board, one browser. Capture, decode, and replay real signals — open hardware, cloud-paired, and ready in minutes.
