Review on ESP8266 Weather Station Kit with Multiple Sensors & OLED Display for Arduino IDE IoT Starter (Guidance Document Included) by Joel Young

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Make sure you know what you are buying!

This product has been rated number one on Revain's 'Recording Thermometer' list. When I looked at this product I thought it could measure the ambient temperature for the weather balloon I was about to launch and I needed a thermometer that could not only show the temperature but also record the temperature over time. Putting the product together was easy but rewarding, but I'd like to add that I had to delay part of the process as I think the links are outdated or wrong. It really worked in the end, so I have to give them credit. However, I consider the product itself to be superfluous as it only offers Internet access. I was misled by the way this product was advertised and quickly sent it back so Jeff Bezos could at least give me my money back. Sorry to ruin the magic for you, but if you buy this product make sure you only buy an Arduino that will display your region's temperature and get it from the website. I'm giving it two stars because at least it worked. You could say I'm offended they got my money and you'd be right, but I don't want anyone else to get hurt. If you want to see the weather balloon I launched without this product you can check out my Instagram video @Weather_balloon_boy.
