ESP vs Raspberry
#1
We are looking for the implementation of automation in our home.
We have more than 32 inputs and outputs so we were looking at the following board: KC868-A64
What is the difference between this board with an esp32 and a board with a raspberry CM4? 
Or a board with both a raspberry and an esp.

CM4 is a server, ESP32 is a device of client.
no board both have raspberry Pi and ESP chip. usually will use two board. one raspberry Pi work as a local server. ESP32 board will connect to server by ethernet .
