I wouldn't be so negative about capes and shields -- they're where you put
your own peripherals and interface circuitry. Start by mapping out the
sensors and drivers you're going to connect to the big hardware, and work
inward from there to the microcontroller. The hard work is out there with

I've been using ESP8266/ESP32 boards, but the RP2040 used in the Pi Pico
looks interesting as it's cheap, dual-core, and has the PIO units on it.
The Pico has weak network connectivity, but the RP2040 chip is showing up
in other boards like the Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect, which has WiFi+BT.

I almost forgot; Arduino have announced an upcoming board based the
the RP2040 MCU used on the Raspberry

You can also make your own board using an ATtiny or ATmega chip. The Arduino

If you value your time, unless you are replicating a lot of systems,
paying for more hardware to save

It depends on what kind of connectivity do you need, and how fault tolerant
you have to be.
If you need mostly wifi/bluetooth, there's a very nice line of
microcontrollers: ESP32. They have a lot of variants, so you can find the
one you want.
If you need IO pins, Arduino is the way to go. They
