MKR ENV fit for purpose?

[Dan0]

after playing about with the ENV I have some observations that may be controversial

the temperature reading seems to be about 3deg too high, this may be because the sensor is on the board right above the MKR board

if you wanted to use the light sensors at the same time as the temperature sensor you cannot! you wont be wanting a thermometer in direct sunlight but you do want the light sensors in direct sunlight...

UVA, UVB and UV index will not work under glass so you need an enclosure that allows light to pass, its not going to work in a greenhouse

you can get lumens under glass but then again you want to be taking temperature in the shade

so if your thinking of using this board for a greenhouse project or any other environmental project then you probably cannot use half the sensors at any one time

so whats the purpose? remember this is $30~

the thermometer is now reading about 11c over the actual and the humidity sensor is jumping all over the place

it had been stable up until today, I have placed it in a bright and warm conservatory

the only sensor/calculation/reading that seems to work reliably and accurately is Lumens

using the appropriate library #include <Arduino_MKRENV.h> still getting some strange results

the light sensor seems to be the only reliable aspect of this $30 kit
