It's already 25DegC in my home office.

The best cooling automation I have so far is to turn the fan on when it's 25 for >5mins.

Is there a nice zigbee / ESP32 evaporation cooler that I can enjoying setting up with HA?

Oh, my other advice is definitely buy the bacteriostatic water additive, because otherwise you will have to clean all the wet parts of the machine with hot soapy water every single week to keep yourself healthy.

And my other other advice is to get the absolute dumbest unit possible that can be turned on and off with a knob/switch. Just set it to on and plug it into a smart plug.
