“Excellent bit of tech. I'm brand new to Raspberry Pi - never touched one previously and have no experience whatsoever. I've got into home automation and found a use for a Pi. I've been leaving my iMac on permanently so that I could run Mosquitto MQTT. With zero experience and just following online tutorials I've managed to set up MQTT on the Pi. I've also added Homebridge to it allowing Siri control of all devices connected to my Hubitat hub. Finally I also added motioneye. I used this to convert the rtsp streams from my Hikvision system and serve them via http to my SharpTools dashboards (on Fire HD tablets). All that setup and running brilliantly with my zero experience.
As for Pi Hut - great service, regularly updated regarding my order and delivered promptly the following day. Highly recommended.”
“Bought this as a gift but recipient was delighted. Well packaged and delivery was super quick. Was kept up to date on delivery info. Great company to deal with.”
“Fantastic bit of kit.
I've always wanted a Raspberry Pi but never found a true purpose for it - until I discovered Pi-hole. I've got Pi-hole running with Unbound for a recursive DNS server with DHCP functionality. I'm also running a firewall and a WireGuard VPN. Couldn't be happier.
I like the fact that PiHut has included official Raspberry Pi items in their bundle with a reliable SD card. I did have an issue with the case, though, as the Raspberry Pi 4 didn't fit inside it with the SD card mounted. Also it's criminal for thermal efficiency. I've since replaced the case and I'm using an SSD via USB 3.
This kit has everything you need to get up and running and I have 0 complaints. Affordably priced for wanting everything in a convenient bundle. I also received it within 24 hours of ordering which is awesome.”
