Reviews from Amazon.com

1. piece of junk, can't even return it. Avoid!

product so poorly documented you can't do much with it.,

Arduino support is buggy, so you have to use a web app (login + password) to write your code

Who knows when the web app will be gone, who has access to your code and so on.

This is a horrible product with no documentation.

Can't even return it being based in the US, they charge shipping back to china and charge a restocking fee , making this whole purchase a waste of time and money, i'd be negative returning it. I'll keep it, in case tools or documentation get created but I doubt.

2. DONT BUY IF YOU CAN NOT READ CHINESE

Absolutly no documentation,the web based ide you need to run it is all in chinese,you dont have the option to translate it through google even,all the pre configed apps are average at best,and it didnt even have the option to create a button interface so its just a GUI that does litterally nothing no way to assign gpio's and the ide had microtransations for every other thing SEEED makes some really cool things but this is NOT one of them,RETURNED.

3. Don't waste your time

This product looks promising online, but the documentation is not useful and it appears the only way to make changes to the device is via a Chinese web application. At first I though using VS Code with the ESP-IDF extension would work for implementing a custom UI but that is not possible. I also tried the LVGL tools and that was a no go also. On the surface it may look like a good purchase but it is essentially a paper weight. Too bad I thought this would be a good tool for my home automated bar.
