Thanks - I sort of had that Idea and looked at the ESP32 with an Ethernet port, but it was looking complex to flash because of no UART etc. Looks like the ESP8266 would need an add on for Ethernet? Plus I might still be out of my depth figuring out how to flash it?
I also considered an Ethernet hat for the Uno since I have a couple of them floating around somewhere, but in the end the B+ was cheaper. Those little boards would probably be better for power consumption as well though
All you'd need to program that ESP32 is an USB to UART adapter, you can get those for pennies on the dollar. I've never used Ethernet on the ESP32 so I can't attest to how easy it would be, however I do know that doing it over WiFi is super simple.
