The weather station is eating HTU21D humidity sensors. About 3-4 / year.
I'm beginning to think the sensors from Aliexpress aren't genuine
The temperature still works, but humidity stays at 0%
I wouldn't mind if I lived in the tropics and they were permanently wet, but the one that just failed hasn't seen proper rain for months.
Ive started covering them in PTFE tape which protected a genuine SHT for around 10 years.
Replacements
1/3/22 ? PTFE tape, otherwise open. A fair amount of verdi grée on the pins + pcb
30/10/22 sealed in acetic based clear silicone and PTFE tape
