Need help in minicomputer selection

[technopepe]

Hello everyone. This will be my first IoT project.
I want a motion detector to trigger sound on the Bluetooth speaker.
At first, I wanted to have a motion detector to send input over the Bluetooths or WIfi to a minicomputer that would play a sound on the connected remote speaker.
But looks like motion detectors come only in the form of modules, so I think minicomputer with a physically connected motion detector would be OK too.
So as I'm a total noob, can someone please suggest what minicomputer would be a good match for this project? (would be able to have a motion detector, connect and play on the remote speakers, have some storage for sound)

Or point me in the direction I should look into, would greatly appreciate that

When someone says "minicomputer" I immediately think of the PDP11 series of computers.

However, I don't think that that is what you require here.
Maybe something from the Arduino series of micro controllers would be appropriate?

Perhaps an ESP32, as that includes both BlueTooth and WiFi, plus has a staggering performance.

I completely 100% agree on the completely misleading use of 'minicomputer'

Hah, thank you a lot guys! Sorry, I don't know terminology yet
Ordering ESP32 now, looking forward to new discoveries

Do you have a link to the ESP32 you've ordered? Is it Arduino compatible?

The site is on polish but based on the title I think it is

Can't read the page but it looks Arduino compatible and incorporates an SD card. Good find.

I'm also can't read this language yet. I use a chrome built-in translator function it often comes in handy. Thanks for the appraisal

Good luck with your project.
