IDEASPARK ESP8266 Smart Flower Pot Kits with DHT11 Temperature and Humidity Sensor BH1750FVI Light Sensor Soil Moisture Sensor for Arduino IDE IoT Starter(Guidance Document Included)

I found this kit very easy to setup for someone who is fairly new to electrical circuits and Arduino coding. For some reason the provided disc did not have the guidance documents, but within a day of messaging the seller, they sent them to me through Amazon. So far I am satisfied with the performance of the hardware, and would definitely recommend this kit to anyone who would like to monitor an indoor plant or learn more about electrical circuits and coding.

There's nothing wrong with the sensors or the board itself. Those are all as advertised and on product pricing still better to buy the kit.With that said....I am a technology professional with years of service in numerous multi faceted complex environments.The documentation is way out of dateYou (nor I) can set this up from the provided directions. There are numerous required prerequisite installs documentation don't mention. Just Google how to flash an esp8266 board... Yeah the jury is out and the method described in the instructions 100% will not work on a modern windows 10 or Linux install as described... I tried both.There's no support for any of this. When I but a kit I want to do a little diy.... Not have to figure out how to configure entire operating systems.The documentation is even out of order... Steps 1 and 2 show you to wire the system, then step 3 tells you to flash the board without it wired... So illogical as hell.Setup instructions come on a CD... Yeah a CD. As a teach professional I have not had a CD drive in a number of years. They list the website to download contents, that doesn't actually work and claims to have a server error when you try to type the website address in.I did get it working, but unless you're a skilled reach professional willing to download questionable Chinese software and spend considerable amount of research time to get this working this is not really a "kit"It would be like selling you individually every part to a Ford mustang delivered with no issues and calling it a a kit.You 100% need pretty significant computer science skills to get this running... Their instructions are at least a year or two out of date to reality, and it's not going to easy even if you're skilled.Parts quality, good.The idea this is a kit. Would give it -69 stars on a scale from 1-10

I followed everything the best I could but couldnt get it to work. The instructions are worthless I would recommend something else.

Some parts missing but okay I can live.
