ESP vs Raspberry - bavop - 01-25-2024
We are looking for the implementation of automation in our home.
We have more than 32 inputs and outputs so we were looking at the following board: KC868-A64
What is the difference between this board with an esp32 and a board with a raspberry CM4?
Or a board with both a raspberry and an esp.

CM4 is a server, ESP32 is a device of client.
no board both have raspberry Pi and ESP chip. usually will use two board. one raspberry Pi work as a local server. ESP32 board will connect to server by ethernet .

So at home we are using a raspberry with homeassistant and esphome. And we want to have more the 32 inputs and outputs. What whould you recommend?

use multi controllers, or use KC868-A64 or KC868-A128.
