Review on Rhea Device Management Software for Relay and GPIO by Daniel Pierce

Revainrating 2 out of 5

This product works great with the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B or higher.

Product is pretty good. But you need to understand a few things. First off, you need to realize that the software is designed to work best when working with a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B (or higher). The device does not come with a case, therefore you cannot use it without a case. So if you plan on using this with the device, you should order a case from their website. The other thing to realize is that you must install the drivers before you can actually use the software. These are the two main issues with this product. Also, there is a problem with the Raspberry Pi OS itself where certain programs may not open properly. For example, the "scratch" program may not work right. If you do not have any programs that you are currently running that require a serial connection, I would suggest switching back to the original OS and using it instead of the new version of OS.

Pros
  • You can also expand upon it to get more functionality later
  • There are no issues with installation or setup
Cons
  • There are issues with certain applications like the scratch application and others
  • You have to make sure you have an appropriate network adapter installed
  • Needs to be used with a Raspbian system
