Today the Raspberry Pi foundation released yet another Pi B, this time they at least incremented the version number to 4! This new board has an entirely new SoC and is not supported by the HeaterMeter software. The layout changes to the design also mean it is physically incompatible with both 4.3 and 4.2 HeaterMeter.
Stick with the current recommended Pis (somewhat in order of desirability):
Raspberry Pi Zero W - Cheapest solution, but must add headers
Raspberry Pi Zero WH - Cheapest solution with headers
Raspberry Pi 3B+ 2018 - Best solution with Ethernet and dual band wifi
Raspberry Pi 3B - Almost as good as 3B+ except just 2.4GHz wifi
Raspberry Pi 3A+ - Slightly cheaper than a 3B+ but no Ethernet and imperceptibly faster but much more expensive than a Zero W.
EDIT: Updated to indicate the Pi 4 is wholly incompatible and can not be supported without hardware changes to HeaterMeter.
