“It works and the software examples are good. It does require some programming to fully utilize, but then that's why it's a diy thing, not a commercial air test station.
I'm not really a programmer, but I think I'll be able to get this to function fairly well, given how much of the setup and libraries are well done and documented.”
“Arrived quickly and well packaged. Easy to set up with my Raspberry Pi 3b board and came with all the python code to get going right away. Was up and running logging the data within minutes and had it talking to a second node with MQTT and graphing into Grafana without a few hours. Brilliant for citizen science or educational purposes and works out the box.”
“This is a HAT for the Raspberry Pi (it will fit on both the Pi and Pi Zero) and measures temperature, pressure, humidity, light, sounds and proximity, it has a 96 colour 160 x 80 LCD for displaying information.
There are Python drivers for the HAT which are easy to use and therefore make it easy to use in a variety of situations say monitoring conditions in a room.
Add a PM2.5 sensor and others and you have a nice compact unit for measuring air quality.”
“A great little board which is very easy to use. Works well with an IoT platform like Adafruit IO. I bought mine in June 2019, sadly in early July 2020 the display simply stopped working, the rest of the board was fine. Pimoroni replaced it for free even though it was a couple of weeks past the warranty. Very generous of them.”
“This has been a great addition to my pi zero. I have set it up in a box and currently have it placed outside taking data readings every 10mins. As with all sensors there has had to be some calibration but overall it worked straight out of the box with the python libraries provided. Great service from Pimoroni.”
“Great little devices - many sensors onboard. You can see my entire project here

Highly recommended - I built an entire monitoring system with these boards”
