What a difference when you use a proper ESP-WROOM-32. Flashed and connected immediately - no wasted two days of wondering what was going wrong.
On the bright side; I now know how to use a wire-wrap gun, and v2 #ESPsomfy will be a neater job for #HomeAssistant .
REMEMBER Friends don't let friends use crappy ESP32-C3 SuperMini clones with a ground plane almost touching the chip antenna! 🤦
Instant ewaste.

Don't be tempted to use ESP32-C3 SuperMini modules. I found out too late that the WLAN PCB antenna is utterly mince on some very cheap copies.
Out of 5x modules, not one would reliably broadcast a visible AP, nor connect.
Even this promising antenna hack only got one on the network... intermittently. 😞

ESPsomfy , ESPhome , and Tasmota all failed due to hardware over two days of testing.😡
Trying again with better ESP32's... later!

After finding #BitWarden doesn't have an "Export Folder" option, I've written some Python to process an unencrypted JSON vault and extract ONE folder to a new file.
https://github.com/FloatingBoater/bitwardenfolder
This is enough to extract creds to share, without setting up organisations (my experiments hit enterprise-scale sysadmin pain with Folders/Collections!).
No sync, but importing again seems to create a new folder with the same name (so manually sync and delete).
Tested with #BitWarden and #VaultWarden .
