RaspberryPi overkill / ESP32 not quite enough

<< < (3/3)

I would do the calendar processing in the cloud, and only push events to the ESP32 as needed. No need to store the entire calendar in RAM.

I'm afraid it's not well supported. I have one, about a year ago I tried to put it into use, and had problems (missing packages, script errors, etc). When I googled I found other people had same experience. The reason packages are important is it is based on openwrt/ddwrt/whatever and out-of-the box it's an empty os. Probably it's possible to hack it/compile yourself/etc, but it's going to be time-consuming. May these problems are fixed by somebody, but I'd confirm this before buying it.

I'd be glad to know about alternatives that work out of the box and have up-to-date software.

Although, may be situation around onion has changed. At least there is some support and new firmware: https://community.onion.io/topic/3470/official-resolution-oupgrade-not-working-on-omega2-pro-factory-firmware

jayeye:
An Rpi ZeroW costs $10, which for all practical purposes is the same as the $5 for an esp8266, and both are negligible. So unless you are making more than a few of these and planning to sell them, I don't see a problem with it being an "overkill".
