I’ve been running two Davis VP2 wireless units for nearly ten years, bought both on Craigslist (USA), and have replaced one humidity sensor; both run in seaside, salt air conditions: one in Florida: think hot, humid; the other in Maine: think winter temps down to -20° F (each unattended 6 months of the year). I replace the ISS and console batteries annually and keep the consoles connected to a UPS unit. I use Meteobridge SD NANO loggers but they work with USB loggers (the Belfreyboy ones are fine) just fine. Both feed Intel NUC’s running Raspian Desktop. Bombproof.
