#### ESP Boards
84+
Support for ESP boards is obtained through third-party core with some differences and limitations compared to Arduino boards.
85+
86+
- **Authentication scheme**: Board authentication is done through `DEVICE_LOGIN_NAME` and `DEVICE_KEY`, both values are included in the `thingProperties.h` file.
87+
- **RTC**: RTC support is not included thus each `ArduinoCould.update()` call will lead to an NTP request introducing delay in your `loop()` function. The scheduler widget will not work correctly if connection is lost after configuration.
88+
- **Watchdog**: Watchdog support is not included.
