What size SD card do you plan to use?
I think I go with 16Gb card. Sure 8Gb would be enough I think, but at local stores seemed that there was only “brand” Silicon Power card at 8Gb. That sure would be cheap (2€) but better choose something with good quality. What card would you suggest?
btw. what method do you suggest to write ready configured system from card to image, in case I sometime end up trying that also?
SD card performance (in my experience with Pi Zero) is important.
More than you wanted to know!

More analysis than you want to know

Too many choices. I go with a well known memory manufacture like Kingston, PNY SanDIsk and check the analysis.
Write the card with https://www.balena.io/etcher/ it is easy (takes gz) safe(finds SD card) and free
Image of running RuuviCollector on a Raspberry Pi Zero W, with grafana for a 16GB SD and IMPORTANT notes at http://MyBeacons.info/RuuviCollectorSD.html . Let me know if it works for you (or if it doesn’t)

Thanks, just downloading image. I bought Sandisk Ultra SDHC as originally planned and seems like that’s sold also with officially preflashed rasbian. My Zero W is on it’s way but seems it wil take longer for it until arrives. Will test and report when posible to do so.
Thanks again.
Yeah certainly could be used as a BLE to wifi gateway and looks fine.
Please post you experience here.
Just to say I have developed a Pi Zero WH based IOT cellular gateway for BLE devices plus other Smart Device protocols too - works great .
