I extended my solar sensor with a simple pair of wires maybe 15 inches long and mounted the sensor on top of a radiation shield I built. Voltage/current levels and frequency of the signal are such that cat5 is probably not required. I put an RCA plug in the HTS housing where the sensor used to...

I'm using a similar setup. Yesterday, I added a 6 port hub as a power injector. When I mounted the H/T/S outside, I started getting unreliable results which I attributed to too much voltage drop on the long cable. Running with injected power seems to have fixed it. I'm using OWFS and some of...

Selecting a location for the combo H/T/S board seems to be a dilemma. For accurate temperature and humidity readings, it needs to be in a cool shady location. On the other hand, the solar sensor needs a clear view of the sun. What solutions have you used successully? I'm contemplating...
