So I am still using an AM2315, had not really had the need to move to a SHT30... I can find a SHT31 locally too!
But my issue that has always plagued me - is that my temperature readings for external are quite often recording too high. It seems to occur when direct sunlight is hitting the cover over the AM2315. At night, mornings, my AM2315 is recording pretty close to other observations in the area...
In summer - when direct light is hitting the sensor - its heating up and showing 6 - 7C more than what it should be...
Real painful. I used the cover from the supplied 3d files, and printed it myself... But I notice now after some weathering, maybe the cover is a little translucent - its an off white / greenish tint to it.
I want a quick solution - and knowing white cars are cooler than black... do you thin just painting the cover white might resolve it ?
The AM2315 shield does touch the case - the mesh shield is a tight fit - and touches the case and the shield... maybe thats the issue...
I just gotta resolve this one! arghhh!
