Not shanzhaied, but another alternative spectrum sensor for VIS/NIR(390nm - 1000nm) is nanolambda NSP32. www.nanolambda.net

Also, ~$150 for a nanolambda nsp32 spectrum sensor

There is another alternative that looks like more of a solid tool. www.nanolambda.net

anyhow spectral sensing could be one of the main stream for IoT sensing

hgchoion Raspberry Pi Zero W, with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, priced at $10

I think I agree that there really isn't a comparable competitor to rpi .. rpiZero W offers a lot for an iot module at such a great cost. maybe something like the CHIP, but not even?

I'm currently working on an agriculture sensing iot platform and going to try to use rpiZero W with the current spectrum sensor from nanolambda. http://www.nanolambda.net . luckily they have the rPi api,sdk already.
