Pollen Sensor?

I second that.

Also a CO2 gas etc type sensor combination to measure Air Quality. See my post at http://discourse.weather-watch.com/t/50908

Hi,

Another AQI sensor would be an Ozone sensor as well.

I’m hoping there will be a new soil moisture sensor. I was all set to order one when they were discontinued. I really, really want one, and gardeners in my community want me to report soil moisture on my website.

Not Hobby-Boards (sorry, Eric) and not a cheap option (especially as at present in addition to an RFXCom receiver you’d need a Meteohub too as a way to get the data to WD), but RFXCOM have a 1-wire based wireless system that includes temp options…

Hey all.
Eric i use all rj45’s because everything i have in in series. they do corrode, but i try keeps them clean and water proof as best i can.
i MUCH prefere the screw terminals, but cant run some things in series with them.
DATA LOGGER for sure!
But huge fan of wireless anything too. things like this interest me http://www.rdsdistributing.com/cgi-bin/catalog.cgi?Wireless&1-Wire_Transmitter
or this. T1 Copper Wire Extender over 3 miles
I’m not very knowledgeable with the technology side of things like some others, so I’m guessing none of this stuff would be appropriate…but wireless, to the weather station, with a data logger attached, and you could retrieve data whenever you liked=winner!

Do you use dielectric grease on your RJ45’s? That will help the corrosion problem.

yeppo! im talking over years:)

Is there a pressure sensor say 0 to 50lb?

I would second the moisture control board, I would like to use the soil moisture as well, but it is not available as of now.

I was able to interface an Omega PX40 pressure sensor with a HB temp/humidity/solar module, using the humidity (voltage) input. It is working really well: stable readings, linear response. I posted about it here.
