Hi Appwrite Community

I'm currently working on IoT projects using devices like the Raspberry Pi Pico and ESP32 running MicroPython. My goal is to leverage Appwrite's realtime functionality to listen to changes in Appwrite databases directly from these devices.

However, as the Python SDK appears to be incompatible with MicroPython (due to missing modules and differences in the runtime environment), I'm exploring alternative approaches. Is it possible to use the Appwrite realtime features directly over the REST API, bypassing the SDK entirely? If not, could you advise on the best strategy or workarounds to integrate realtime capabilities in a MicroPython environment?

I'm very interested in bringing Appwrite's realtime functionality to the IoT space and would be happy to contribute to testing or development efforts in this area.

Thanks in advance for your support and insights!

TL;DR
Working on IoT projects with MicroPython but facing issues with Appwrite's Python SDK. Seeking advice on leveraging Appwrite's realtime features directly over the REST API or alternative strategies for MicroPython integration. Open to contributing to testing or development efforts. Solution: Currently, no direct support for Appwrite's realtime on MicroPython, suggest exploring alternatives and potentially contributing to development in this area.
