Hi. After some technical difficulties with my previous station setup (Arduino uno with POE hat + blue geiger PCB) I decided to upgrade to a new more reliable platform. Here are the details. The new geiger counter board is a GGLABS B01 dual tube board (with J305 tubes) and is made in the USA. The quality of the board is very high and it runs on 5v and 3.3v which is very useful for interfacing to different embedded systems. The geiger board URL is: http://gglabs.us/node/2328  Note the site is slow and insecure so I purchased off ebay. The controller board I selected is an Olimex ESP32-PoE. The URL is; https://www.olimex.com/Products/IoT/ESP32/ESP32-POE/open-source-hardware  It's a really nice board and the PoE powers the GGLABS geiger board from 3.3v so no level converts needed. I am using ESPHome on Homeassistant to run two pulse counter sensors, one for each tube. I then combine the two readings with some logic that averages both or omits one if it is faulty. I then call the radmon.org API from HA to upload the combined CPM value every 60 seconds. I'm happy to share my code and config if anyone is interested. Hope this helps, Richard
