Sensor capsule?

Post by rono21jb »

Hello! I have a question about: SHT-30 Mesh-protected Weather-proof Temperature/Humidity Sensor - 1M Cable.
Do you need a capsule to protect it when mounting it outdoors or is it good to go as it is?

The mesh cover is necessary for the "weatherproof" component.
The casing is weatherproof and will keep water from seeping into the body of the sensor and damaging it, but allows air to pass through so that it can measure the humidity outside.
