Exterior Sensor Recommendation

Forum rules

Questions about hardware that can be controlled by Indigo (but not through the interfaces and plugins listed). If Indigo doesn't support some bit of hardware you're interested in, and you don't find a 3rd Party Plugin for it, add it to this forum. Be sure to include links to as much information as you can find about it.

Note: adding it here does not mean we're going to add it - in fact it's possible one of our 3rd party developers may decide to write a plugin for it. We add hardware/features based on a lot of different factors beyond just having a request for it.

Exterior Sensor Recommendation

I would like to get temperature, luminance and humidity information for outside. I have tried the aeotech mutisensors, but they do not seem hardy enough, even though they are in a covered area. Has anyone installed something outside for this info? Any insight into making it work more reliably?

Re: Exterior Sensor Recommendation

Does the ruuvitag connect to Indigo? Is there a plugin?
