I am about to buy a Raspberry Pi 4 to use with the WebThings Gateway, but wanted to make sure before i do that, that it would work.

Does anyone have experience? are there things too look out for? Do i need to find an old Rpi 3 instead?

Also as a side note, it would be good if the instructions on the website make that explicit either way, all i know right now is that Rpi 3 is recommended (but no idea if it works with the much improved rpi 4 that i would rather buy).

Yes, the gateway will work just fine with the Raspberry Pi 4. That was one of the points in our latest [release announcement](https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/07/webthings-gateway-for-wireless-routers/). 😃

Awesome thanks!

would be cool if the [getting started documentation](https://iot.mozilla.org/docs/gateway-getting-started-guide.html) would reflect that more clearly
