Could hear the fan working, so it was receiving power, but no matter what I tried (and I tried just about everything I could find on forums etc.) I could not get my Pi 4B to recognise the sensor. Gave up in the end.

A very reliable piece of kit

the small yet capable sensor is the best companion for the enviro+ board i've yet seen - despite the fact is has a small fan "collecting" air it's nearly noiseless, working like a charm and using pimoroni's python libraries it's a no-brainer to use it!

I wasn't expecting a lot from this sensor but now that I have it working it's pretty incredible. I have it running next to a much more expensive air quality system and its readings are 100% identical.

This thing is smaller than it looks in the pictures! Runs practically silently, can't hear the tiny fan in it at all. Cool little box for a super cool little board. Provides some very interesting data to work with. I'm currently using it indoors to monitor pollen and dust particle levels but may move it outdoors in the future to contribute to air quality maps.

Purchased this to go with my Enviro plus board, as it wasn’t in stock at the time, now mounded outside as per project idea on site, excellent support and Python code examples. Learning a lot and having fun what’s not to like. Looks and feels a quality product

I found it a bit tricky to connect the cable to the sensor: the socket was a bit mooshy, without a nice, positive click when the cable was all the way in as there was on the Pi end, but it all works fine.
