Raspberry Pi 5 Support Coming?

I didn’t realize ESP32 used arduino code until I was trying to figure out where it was previously mentioned using arduino… is there any benefit to using an actual arduino board over ESP32 for a GPIO instead of the Pi and use MQTT for Pi and Arduino to connect

Or am I looking at using Node Red directly with the ESP32/Arduino and eliminating Pi altogether, and if that’s the case can everything still be local or would I have to use arduino cloud to interface between the board and hubitat.

This just added another level that I wasn’t expecting.
