We have two Raspberrypis with Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8GB and configured with NFC HAT ((PN532) for Raspberry Pi. We plan to get a sensor hat for the two Raspberry Pis. Can anyone suggest all the options for a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with compatibility in mind? Thank you. ---

Hi @Kishore272612, Welcome to the Forums!!! Could you let us know what sort of sensors you’re looking for to add to the Pi’s? It would help narrow down the search ---

Thank you, Aaron, for your reply. We were planning to add a sensory hat to gather room temperature, humidity, and image data. We’re unsure if this is too ambitious ---

> [@Kishore272612](#): > > NFC HAT ((PN532) for Raspberry Pi It should be possible to get this working 🙂 The NFC HAT (PN532) has selectable interfaces for the Raspberry Pi so it should be possible to get other devices working on the alternative pins. An option for a HAT would be the [Raspberry Pi Sense HAT V2](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-sense-hat.html) It can do temperature and humidity. If you use UART for the NFC HAT then it leaves the I2C and SPI pins free for the sense HAT according to [the pinout for the Sense HAT in this schematic](https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/sense-hat/sense-hat-v2-schematics.pdf) An alternative is to use the [Piicodev Adapter for Raspberry Pi](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev-adapter-for-raspberry-pi.html) along with[the sensors you require](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev/sensors/environmental.html) such as [atmospheric](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev-atmospheric-sensor-bme280.html) or [temperature](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev-precision-temperature-sensor-tmp117.html). ---

Thank you, Aaron. This may work for us. Truly appreciate your time. ---
