    Hello

    I'm planning to build a sensor with BH1750 light sensor.
    I need some inspiration, how to build the housing for this one. Anyone has an idea/example? I can't image where to place the light sensor, without leaving it unprotected outside of the housing.

    thanks
    Dakky

          @dakky I glue a piece of Glas (or clear plastic) behind a drilled hole. The sensors I usually mount with double sided tape.

              Hey @dakky how did you progress in building the housing? I would be happy to hear (of course also see) about your experiences since I am planing something very similar.
