I recently bought the pico W, and was messing around with it a bit.
Managed to find this, but I think there should be a easier way to get GPIO control in HA.
Everything you need to get started with your own Intranet of Things, using the high-quality, low-cost Pico W as the backbone. - GitHub - daniloc/PicoW_HomeAssistant_Starter: Everything you need to ...
Has anyone else got it working?
I have also messed around with one. Very nice little board, I really like it.
I use normal MQTT, nothing Home Assistant specific. I just installed the buildchain on my PC (basically just gcc for ARM, the Pico C++ SDK and cmake) and wrote the firmware. It’s pretty straightforward if you have some experience with embedded development.

Released with ESPHome update this month.
No MQTT support though
