I have a Rpi 3 B+ running OS 2.66. It says it's the latest version. I would like to add Ruvvi tags to monitor fridge and air temp. Do I need to upgrade my Rpi to a 4 or can I run 2.80 or 2.90?

Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Can I run Ruvvi Tag
no need to upgrade to a Rpi 4. The Pi 3 B+ will do fine. But you need to update Venus OS firmware, which currently is v2.85. V2.90 is not yet released.
Thanks Stefanie, can I than put the helper on to add the tags or do I need a Bluetooth USB adapter?
Not sure what you mean with "helper".
Normally you would add the RuuviTags from Settings / I/O / Bluetooth sensors menu.
If the menu does not exist, this could mean the Pi's bluetooth sensor is not working. Then simply add one of these Bluetooth USB dongles.
Sorry to bother you but I purchased a new identical SD card and put on V2.66. All fine I can connect with Venus.local. I then put V2.80 tried v2.85 on the same card. It all seems to boot ok but I can't get in with Venus.local. Any ideas would be appreciated. I have tried balenaEtcher and the RPI imager. Still no response.
