### 5/5 — Very cool!

*2019-12-25*

It works well with the cpb, neopixel functions are responsive and give you full limitations of brightness. The accelerometer with the digital representation on the app is pretty friggin cool. The graphs for the temperature and light are impressive as well. A big step up on their app design.
