dnb Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 So I don't further derail this thread I'll ask a new but related question. I'm looking for an alternative to the Pi Pico combined with a W5100S chip mainly because I don't like Python and the rest of my home automation project is coded in Javascript. The hardware on the Pico and W5100 is absolutely fine so if there's an option of a Javascript environment for it that has a bit of support then all is good. Kaluma looks like it will be pretty good if it gets further, but it's not got support for everything I want yet - I don't want to engage in low level development work because there are too many other things I need to do. I am led to believe something ESP32 based (like the Shelly devices) might have both the JS option and a wired Ethernet option. I'm hoping someone can point me at a demoboard much like the W5100S-EVP-Pico, but for the competition, and where I might find some details about what the version(s) of JS for it can be persuaded to do. I can't drop wired ethernet from my list of requirements - the project is not suited to WiFi. Native POE would be a significant advantage although strictly I can manage without. Thanks for any insight. I'm a bit out of the loop on current microcontrollers - I stopped playing with them seriously when the AVR Mega16 was all the rage!

TerryE Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) @dnb, Sorry I missed this. NodeMCU Lua runs on both the ESP32 and the older single CPU ESP8266. The JS equivalent Espruino environment only runs on the ESP32 variant -- preferably the later versions that have PSRAM as well as Flash. The ESP32 Tasmota builds also include a comparable Berry scripting environment. The Expressif RTOS include wired Enet support and some boards include a wired header Edited February 26 by TerryE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnb Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 @TerryE Sorry I missed seeing that you had replied for a few days! Thank you for replying. Once I have a couple of car, old house and groundwork issues off my list I will be back looking at the control aspects of the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
