You can use a Meteobridge to min 'n match, too. I use my shielded tower to report temp/humidity/dew point and the 5in1 for wind & rain. Pressure, of course, comes from the hub itself.

I'm about to do the same repair. The 5-n-1 has a soldered ribbon cable. What's the collected wisdom on the best way to do it:replace jumper cable on the temperature sensor board with the ribbon...

I decided to check mine out since my humidity is not going up & down like it should be compared to my acurite tower and Oregon 100. Everything looked really good, and I took a pic while I was in...

I've somewhat successfully replaced the temp/humidity sensor in my 5n1 without the pins. It's easy to see why the temp/humidity board failed since the traces have been eaten through. See attached....

George, thanks for the data. So in the 5th byte of your data, the byte that I think is the status/message type, I only see 5 values, which isn't enough range for temperature. 1st column is number of...

As far as the count goes, it's always been 5. I started reading it soon after putting in the batteries, so maybe that's from factory testing.I haven't heard it beep or anything like that since I got it.

My 5 in 1 just failed for the same problem.The root cause of the problem was not the chip. It's the trace that had developed an open circuit from corrosion. I just soldered on a tiny shunt wire from...
