“It works well as a consolidated set of sensors and there are plenty of sample libraries to work from. However, the BME280 is too sensitive to the Pi's cpu and the compensation doesn't work that well. It's great for monitoring an air conditioned room, or outdoors in an area with ambient temperatures that exceed the emitted heat from the CPU. Otherwise put a separate temperature sensor on a wire for more reliable results. Also disappointed that the gas sensor gives resistance values instead of ppm so read the documentation and sample codes closely to make sure this fits your use case. Would have preferred a TVOC or CO2 sensore instead.”
“HAT works perfectly, just had to do some research to work out what the sensor readings "mean" (reports are in ohms, you need to process that to get something that shows the actual air quality in an easily readable format)”
“Works well with Pimoroni libraries. A few issues that I found so far: discrepancy in BME280 readings caused by heat from RPi when mounted directly above. It would be good for Pimoroni to bundle Enviro+ with GPIO extension ribbon cable. In my experience it significantly improved the accuracy of temperature and humidity readings however hasn't completely resolved it. Noise sensor library examples don't produce any meaningful output and will need digging into it.”
