Hey gang
I wonder what a good outdoor-reliable temperature sensor is that is comfortable to integrate with Nerves. I need to start monitoring temperature in the new green house soon enough and I have plenty of devices and some enclosures. But I’ve heard the DHT-22 is not particularly great?
What was recommended in the Weather Station book? What else is there to consider?
@fhunleth I know you’ve dealt with a temperature sensor or two in your day. Open to anyone’s opinion though

Small correction: I meant this library: GitHub - elixir-sensors/bmp280: Use Bosch barometric pressure sensors in Elixir · GitHub which is also used in the Nerves weather station book

So no, no real CO2 sensor but an indicator of your general air quality
lawik
nice, thank you!
so gas concentration could be used to check CO2 levels in an office as well?
Might need more than one.

The Bosch BME280 is a solid choice and there is already a library for it: GitHub - lucaong/elixir_bme680: An Elixir library to interface with the BME680 (and BME280) environmental sensor · GitHub. The BME680 also measures gas concentration but the library is compatible with both
