I have a prototype system based on an Arduino Uno and W5500 Ethernet board connected up using pigtais, that's been used in my garrage as a security and control center integrated via MQTT with Home Assistant. My goal for this was to clean up the whole thing and make it easier to connect up new sensors as it's a pain to solder up pigtails on wires each time. Also decided to upgrade to Pi Pico as it's much more powerfull, cheaper, smaller and more power efficient than Arduino Uno.
I decided to go with Pi Pico over an ESP32 based board, because Pi Pico pins are standartized, so not as confusing to source, I also expect the software support to be much better based on Raspbery Pi SBC support in the past.
I went with W5500 for connection/internet as a personal preference for security and stability over WiFi or Bluetooth, as I am using this primarily as a security system with magnetic door sensors. Pi Pico W most likely could be used with this as well.
