Could someone suggest me a board?

Greetings.
I have a project I developed on ESP32 (CH340 Chip). For some reasons, the project got messy, and I would like to migrate to a new board. I have an STM32 Nucleo which gave me a lot of satisfaction, but for this project I need something

-Small

-Wifi Capable
-With at least a dozen ports (PWM, NFC, Analog etc)
-That supports protocols for talking with Siri/Alexa/GNest (I bet this is on libraries)

-Can run an Http server

-Economic wouldn't be bad.

I was thinking something like the BluePill, but there isn't any version with buitl-in wifi. My environment for development shall be Keil Studio. An you suggest something?

Thank you a lot for the attention

Marco

    I may suggest B-L475E-IOT01A Disco board.

    It has WiFi, PWM analog ..

    That something you need to integrate by yourself. See also this link.

    Hello Marco, 

    You can use ST-MCU-FINDER tool to fine-tune your choice of STM32 MCU and select the suitable one that will fit your needs, I recommend considering the STM32WB series MCU: STM32WB Series Overview

    Yes, the STM32WB seems to be a possible solution. It doesn't have Wifi, but I think it will be fine.

    Yes, this is good. It has everything I need. Unfortunately is more expensive and bigger than of what me and my colleagues are looking for, but this REALLY seems a promising solution.

    Thank you all, I really appreciate your time. I will bring this solutions to my team, and they will decide. Both seems good to me. I will wait a couple of days to see if someone else would like to add something, and then I willm ark this as solved.
