Lucy, advises that this is close to being available, so we will soon see.
I imagine the benefits will be the sensor precision
I can confirm, the idea was started from my personal push to ecowitt, supported by our italian community, due to would like to have a better sensor, a lower probe dimension and to obtain the best performances using this sensor in high quality solar radiation shields, like Barani Meteoshield Pro that require a low dimension probe to obtain the best internal airflow
the first prototype, tested by ourselves, was made by an our top user, Raffaello, sometimes present in this forum
if you want I can post an image of probably definitive sensor
