I moved my Raspberry Pi projects to $5 ESP32 boards, and nothing broke
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
I used Raspberry Pi 4 as my Home Assistant hub and for IoT projects, since it had GPIO pins. But over time, the performance issues persisted, and I migrated Home Assistant's duties to my mini PC. As I got familiar with the ESP32 microcontrollers, building devices became fun. Yet I wondered if Pi was still needed in the smart home loop.
