It is very easy to install, has an analog output and a linear conversion. There are however a number of challenges:

1 If you want to measure pressure in Bar, how is it converted from PSI
2 How can voltages higher than 3.3 volts be measured with the on-board ADC
3 How can you make sensible readings with ESPEasy
