I'd be interested to hear if/when it bites the dust from the harsh environment. I've got some pi's sitting around doing nothing right now and I've been thinking of trying to do something with them on the boat.
The Pi’s are so cheap and powerful, I really think this is the wave of the future. With some protection from the elements this unit should hold up pretty well. Time will tell and go by the mantra, “keep you expectations tiny and you will not be so winey”.
Alas, it did not make it long. Clean, constant power is critical for the Pi to work well. Unfortunately, I would have to modify the electrical system to ensure consistent operation. Performance(speed) was
Poor also.
I wonder if part of the problem is the read/write to memory cards. I understand they degraded after a lot of read/writes. Would the system work better with ssd?

That is my experience with it as well. Tried to use it for homeassistant, but kept frying the memory card
