Hi! Robert, for low power radio please see https://www.mysensors.org/ - framework based on arduino/raspberry pi and cheap radio NRF24L01 or RFM69. I'm using it for more than 2 years now and it's very reliable (NFR24L01 + MQTT gateway). On web site you will find a lot of ready to use examples wi

Very nice. I considered flower pots for the radiation shield also, but then that wouldn't align with your snowflake theory, would it? I like both Sparkfun and Adafruit's ecosystem. Phant looks interesting. I'm reading temperature and humidity in the house using an Adafruit Feather Huzzah publis

Robert, can you share any details on the solar powered Redboard? My weather station is based on an Arduino Pro Mini, powered by an old Li-ion camera battery. The weather station sleeps most of the time, waking up briefly every 10 seconds or so to sample weather. I get about 2 weeks out of the b
