You missed a few people selling them in the last few weeks. You may not need one though with the release of this: > [@\[DEPRECATED\] ST\_Anything - Arduino/ESP8266/ESP32](https://community.smartthings.com/t/release-st-anything-v2-1-arduino-esp8266-to-st-via-thingshield-ethernet-or-wifi/77707): > > UPDATE 2022-08-17 - Per [this recent SmartThings announcement, the Groovy IDE will disabled on September 30, 2022](https://support.smartthings.com/hc/en-us/articles/7055691183380?mc_cid=75421954c8&mc_eid=574074d8e5). My best guess is that any existing ST\_Anything devices will probably cease to operate at this time, or shortly thereafter. It has been a good 7+ year run for ST\_Anything users. I want to thank you all for making ST\_Anything a successful project! My son and I really had a lot of fun creating it together, and have enjoyed hearing how you have all used it in so many creative ways. As many of you probably already know, I have moved on from ST and have [ported ST\_Anything over to Hubitat as “HubDuino”](https://community.hubitat.com/t/release-hubduino-v1-1-9-hubitat-to-arduino-esp8266-esp32-thingshield-integration-st-anything/399?u=ogiewon). If you have devices running ST\_Anything that you ‘can’t live without,’ at least you know you have options. Another option for ESP8266/ESP32 users would be to use ESPHome along … ---

I know… I’m upset about that… Lool… Dang exams lol I have been trying to stay clear of using the esp8266… However it’s looking more like I’ll have no choice… ---

You can still use a W5100 instead, though will require a hard wire. ---

Hmmm. I should have thought of that… Seems like it may be a viable option… I have a few in some old projects I may be able to cannibalize… I’m curious tho: was the thingshield able to work as a repeater for ZigBee? ---

You can also use an Arduino MEGA with an inexpensive ESP-01 to add just WiFi capability. This was a recent addition I made per a user request. ---

What about the LattePanda board it is a combo computer with Arduino ---

Joel, What would be the use case for such a powerful and expensive microcontroller? Seems like you could run Win10 IOT on a $35 Raspberry Pi and get the Windows Development environment, if that’s what your after. (and no, I do not have a library for the Raspberry Pi! 😉 ) The $10 NodeMCU ESP8266-12e boards are really quite capable for the typical “maker community”. Curious what you’re looking to accomplish with the LattePanda.
