Inkbird ITH-20R thermo/hygrometer outdoor case

The external senders don't seem to be made for outdoor use. I witnessed many other units of many brands fail after two or three years outside even in the moderate seasons of western Germany :)

This case protects your unit from direct sunlight and rain. It still needs to be open on the bottom as the hygrometer can't work in a confined space.

Nail into tree: nah :( Sender exposed to wind and weather? Nah!

Wire around tree: yeah! Sender protected from rain, snow and wind? Yeah!

Is this thing useful to you?

Don't hesitate to hit the ❤ and show some love. I'm always happy to hear from you in the 🗩 comment section. If you have problems printing my files: tell me in the comment section too!

Provided files

I do like to have real CAD-files, when downloading things from others. Most users don't provide files other than .STL-files. These are useless for further manipulation or quick changes. So I'll provide the following files to you:

Is it easy to build/assemble?

No assembly is required. There are two through-holes on the bottom. They're used to put in a (stainless) nail to keep the unit from falling out of the case. Or use a piece of wire, a screw or whatever you have at hand.

Where and how do I mount this thing?

For “realistic” measurements it is important to not mount it on a brick-wall facing south, as those values won't even be near those weather forecast values.

See this artice for all your questions where to mount an outdoor sensor.

Is this thing finished?

YES. If you don't thionk so: Modify it till it fits your needs.
