🌡 Enhance Your Smart Home Data: Introducing the 3D-Printed Shelly BLU H&T Sensor Cover

If you use the Shelly BLU H&T sensor for environmental monitoring, you know accurate data is crucial. Direct exposure to sunlight and rain can significantly skew your temperature and humidity readings, especially in outdoor or semi-exposed indoor locations. I've developed a simple yet effective 3D-printed cover to protect your sensor, ensuring you get the most reliable data possible.


Key Features and Benefits

  • Improved Accuracy: The primary function of this cover is to shield the sensor from direct sunlight and rain. This protection stabilizes the sensor's immediate environment, leading to more consistent and accurate temperature and humidity measurements.

  • Simple Installation: The Shelly BLU H&T sensor friction-fits securely inside the cover. Simply insert the sensor, and the cover will hold it firmly in place without the need for adhesives or complicated fasteners.

  • Versatile Mounting Options: You have two easy ways to mount the cover:

    • Using double-sided adhesive tape (not included).

    • Securing it with a screw. The cover features a countersunk hole for a flush mount.


🔩 Technical Specifications for Mounting

For those planning the installation, here are the dimensions of the mounting hole:

  • Hole Diameter: 4mm (suitable for standard small screws).

  • Countersink Diameter: 12 mm (allows the screw head to sit below the surface).

  • Back Plate Thickness:  4 mm (provides robust support).


💡 Filament Choice for Optimal Durability

When selecting your 3D printing material, consider the operating environment of your sensor:

  • Indoor Use: Standard materials like PLA are generally acceptable.

  • Outdoor Use: For protection against UV light, moisture, and temperature fluctuations, it is strongly recommended to print the cover using PETG or a similar weather-resistant filament. Always choose a material that can withstand the specific weather conditions in your area.


I hope this cover helps you get the most out of your Shelly BLU H&T sensor! Your feedback is valuable—please share any suggestions for improvements in the comments.

Supports: No supports needed. Print on its back side.

Note: There is a Shelly BLU HT Cover (Higher Tolerance) version if your tolerance needs to be higher or you have problem fitting the sensor inside (Standard 0.3 mm, higher 0.4 mm).
