misleading description.

They say you have a '3 pack' package. The description is misleading. You can buy these three components in one kit for less than $5."

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Misleading Description - Good Product

It is misleading to say this is a pack of three. There are three components: wires, circuit board and thermometer. You can easily buy these three components in a bundle for less than $5, and they're not called "3 Pack". Also, I emailed tech support to help me get this working on my raspberry pi and never got a reply. I wouldn't have a problem paying extra for this kit if the customer service was top notch, but they aren't. Otherwise the components look well built, but no better than the $4 kit…

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Crumpled

Perfect for aquariums and Raspberry Pi Zero W

I bought this to use with Raspberry Pi Zero W. I am using this with a python script to control the aquarium temperature. It took a while to get it working as this is my first time doing something with the gpio header. Getting the wiring right was a bit of a challenge as nothing could tell me what color the wires were (power, neutral, data). After sorting the wires, everything works fine. The thermometer has been working for about two months now. I get both emails and text messages when the tank

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
