      @lofty73 got mine today, unplugged the pi 0w, and moved the sd card over… up we run…

      installed electron (cause it wasn’t on the armv6)

      and runs nice…

      pretty low cpu usage

            my pi zero 2w was delivered today and I’m really surprised about the good performance.

            Tested 2 apps:

            • mm as docker setup
            • motioneye with google drive upload (also docker)

            Both worked out of the box and felt not slower as on my old pi 3b.

              @karsten13 memory is a little slower than PI3b… but not too terrible

                  Those that have MM running on pi02w, what modules do you have running? I tried in vain to get it running on my pi0w, but when I started adding weather/calendar/background photo etc it failed. The modules I need:

                  • Photos
                  • Google Calendar
                  • Todoist
                  • Weather Forecast
                  • (nice to have) Spotify ‘now playing’
                  • (nice to have) Moon Phases

                  Is it possible to have these on the zero 2? Or do I need to wait until like June to get the pi 4.

                    @laurafox08 yes, those should be fine. no real cpu hogs there. still shorter on memory, so make a bigger swap file

                    like pi3.
