So far no further hiccups. Is it conceivable that low console batteries could cause an issue even when powered by an adapter?
Don't see how...Enjoy your 31. ;)

Darn, was hoping I’d find a solution.  Basically same issue, few days ago around noon temp went to -90 and humidity is incorrect also.

2009 unit, bought one of the new sensors, still not working.  Changed batteries on both console and iss.  Reboot(s) result in no change.  Wind etc working fine.

Thinking need to replace iss at this point 🙄

So you're saying that your old sensor and now a brand new one have both failed with the exact symptoms?

Basically, only possibility is first one failed, second was not working when received, which I doubt.

When the old one stopped working, it was a sunny day, so nothing storm related.

Anyway to test these?

Not unless you happen to have another working ISS laying around.
Perhaps your PCBA is bad.

That’s what I’m thinking, was hoping not to make that purchase 🙄

I suspect this new sensor is good, so I’ll be updated for temp/humidity.

Any reason my rain/wind won’t work with new pcba?

All original, purchased in 2009.

No. The link I posted is run by Ryan and he's super good to work with, I'd call him tonight (1-352-262-6119, he's in Florida) and see if you can return the part should that not be the problem.

Good. Have you gotten the temperature offset taken care of? I believe with this new board now and the SHT31, the offset is no longer needed. Is that right?

The board is AZ (2016), so no correction required....
