Weatherproof Cover/Enclosure for Outdoor Sensors (Stevenson Screen)

by TFA Dostmann

This practical cover protects electronics that need to be outside (like temperature and humidity sensors) from sun and rain, whilst maintaining airflow.

The slots in the protective cover ensure air can circulate inside for accurate and unadulterated readings, even in direct sunlight. The enclosure also protects against rain and comes with a variety of mounting options so it can be easily placed anywhere outside. It works well combined with our Wind and Rain Sensors Kit - we attached the mounting bracket to the metal pole with two cable ties that are included.

The protective cover is also ideal for housing transmitters or other boards with cables attached, thanks to the cable opening in the bottom. Our Weather HAT and Pi Zero combo fits inside nicely! Note that this cable opening is quite small, so you will need to enlarge it if you want to fit chunky connectors like RJ11 or USB connectors through.

  • For temperature or thermo-hygro transmitter
  • Protects against rain and direct sunlight
  • With opening for sensor cable
  • Easy to assemble, with mounting parts, inside dimensions: Ø 60 x 160mm [*] [*]
  • Dimensions (L) 95 x (B) 102 (108) x (H) 175 mm

A really neat and easy to use sensor package. Shouldnt take more than an hour to familiarise yourself with it as the library for it is pretty robust and easy to use. Added it to a project of mine (circuit python) and it works just as expected. I really like it!

A great little sensor that is almost 'plug and play'. Just plug it into a board like the Pico Breakout Garden and download the example program to get it going. You really don't need to do much yourself. That said, more accessible, improved documentation, detailing the methods used to set up the device and access data would help deepen understanding of the device and how to develop and modify applications using it.

Useful sensor with a choice of connectors for soldering. Worked seamlessly with a Pico W. Found the literature and information on the Pimoroni website somewhat arcane and less than straightforward to access, but plenty of help available on YouTube

Bought the BME280 breakout as a replacement for the BME280 sensor on an Enviro+ board that had gone awry. After checking with the excellent Pimoroni forum for help, I soldered the board to the GPIO header on the Enviro+ with the supplied header pins. I made use of the address selection trace on the back BME280 breakout board. All now works and is up and running the Luftdaten python script with a small change to the code to allow for the address change to 0x77. Great service from Pimoroni, ordered on Tuesday and arrived on Thursday.

Instructions on how to use it and set up are good. Got it all working without hassle and used it as a project to team my kids to solder, which went well. Readings seem to be accurate and correspond with other local weather stations in the year.

These sensors work as they should, I couldn't find how to access specific addresses using the pimoroni python library examples but a search led me to install the RPi.bme280 libràry (sudo pip install RPi.bme280) and I was able to read from two dme280 sensors connected in parallel using addresses 0x76 and 0x77.

Handy little sensor.. I am using this to provide a data feed to the magic mirror smart dashboard I have at home to keep an eye on indoor conditions. Fantastic. Try to keep the unit few cms away from the pi..it is quite sensitive to any heat.
