Comment on Raspberry Pis are cheaper than Mini PCs again
mctoasterson@reddthat.com 2 days agoStill running PiHole on a 3B.
The Pi 4 is plenty robust for Docker and a few small things depending on how much RAM your model has etc. Mine runs Immich well, unless you give it huge videos to transcode, which crushes the CPU and takes forever.

I use a little 3b for home automation stuff. That little guy is arguably overkill for controlling a thermostat and some other silly things.

You almost certainly could do it with an ESP32 (a microcontroller with Arduino support and which supports WiFi and bluetooth).
An ESP32 Super Mini board costs about $5.
Of course, forget about an UI other than web-based for the ESP32 or proper OS (like Linux) support, as that stuff is on the embedded systems side of things (and kinda powerful for that) rather than Single Board Computer.
