“This is a very nice board with a lot of sensors, but the software support is not so good. I eventually got a Grafana dashboard working in Fahrenheit (I'm in the US) and showing particles per liter of air because the mass-based measurements aren't sensitive enough in my very clean HEPA-filtered environment. That required adding code to the Python enviroplus_exporter.py to support the particles-per-liter, and designing a new Grafana chart. I probably would not have succeeded at this if I wasn't a professional software expert and Python guru. The bare drivers provided by Pimoroni don't let you use this without writing your own code or adapting existing github projects, none of which worked, or did what I wanted out of the box. It's complicated working with this many sensors. I recommend the enviroplus_exporter.py on the Pi that has the hat, and the poorly documented prometheus time-series database, feeding one of the Grafana dashboards. If you want to see all the sensors, it's that or roll your own visualization. My setup is newer than the stuff I based it on, but I haven't posted it to my github account yet. I'm eh at eirikur dot net.
My best,

“Great for monitoring environmental quality whilst WFH. Having fun playing with the example code to try out different options for combining and displaying data.”
“I upgraded my Pi Enviro to the Pi Enviro + Air Quality for my my home office. Had it up and running in 10mins thanks to easy to follow guides. Great value for the money .”
