Check what happens if you uncheck the HiLink modules when uploading the BOM.
I guess the weight and dimensions of the package greatly depends on those.

Re: Using the DS3231 Module and Other Modules for Time and Relay State Management with ESP-Easy
The costs are very likely because of through-hole component placement. If you only have the PCBs, the shipment costs will still be the most expensive part. You can also order 5 or 10 PCBs and then let them only assemble 2 or 5 boards. With JLCPCB assembly you have 2 types of parts: Basic and Extende...

NTP could for sure be an issue as DNS lookups are blocking and if they timeout, a retry to lookup a time server will re-occur at some regular interval.

Well both will burn in nearly the same time when you short circuit them.
And the traces are wide enough to handle a few Amp, so the fuse will burn first anyway.

Re: Using the DS3231 Module and Other Modules for Time and Relay State Management with ESP-Easy
Oh and when you place a fuse, I think 1A is a bit too much.
At least make sure to take a 'slow' one. 500 mA should be enough, but the power-on surge can be quite a lot, that's why you need a "slow" one.
