But didn’t the Arduino guy lament some years ago about clones? He wanted people to buy “authorized” hardware uf I remember properly.

I always buy official boards unless there isn’t an official version of the board that I want. It seems to me that supporting the people who developed and made the space these products live in is a good default position.

What is a “flame sensor” and does it detect heat, light, or gases?
For the same price, there is a newer version with a lot more stuff:

The one you linked to doesn’t actually include an Arduino board, just a power adapter for the breadboard.

IIRC, he was lamenting counterfeits, not clones. Big difference.

The one in the picture - looking like a small black LED - looks like an IR sensor. Here’s one with a comparator and adjustable sensitivity built into the board.
