New goodies! Dune Part 2 in 4K HDR, a replacement screen for one of our Raspberry Pi-attached dashboards, and a different type of temperature/humidity sensor, the Sensiron SHT-30, that's actually got a weather-proof mesh around it and is specifically designed for outdoor usage.
(Our current BME280 it turns out is _not_, and despite being protected from direct rain, the humidity after it rains gets high enough that the sensor gets saturated and all the readings end up being wrong. I also found out that you can actually calculate the dew point if you have the temperature and relative humidity so I don't even need the BME280 to do that for me! The only thing that I'll be missing is the atmospheric pressure, I COULD leave the BME280 attached for just that but but I don't actually know that I care all that much about it tbh.)
It's aliiiive! I might need to reposition it a little, but I'm _fairly_ sure that it shouldn't be getting any direct sunshine where it's dangling there because there are a bunch of trees just over to the right on the other side of the fence.
I'm quite pleased with the overall architecture of my code for this whole project (https://github.com/VirtualWolf/esp32-sensor-reader-mqtt), it was delightfully straightforwards to find a library for the sensor and integrate it.
