this kind of optic fiber is probably only plastic so for a full DIY , you can use also fishing wire with a big power led or an old chistmass tree optic fiber lighted.....
Hey! This looks like a great project! I'm considering building one for my hives.
I notice that the legs need to be welded. That will be a chore for people that want to make this build themselves.
Is this version designed to be built by anyone?
Did you consider using open source or standardized hardware? Think of 2020 alu profiles or something, to allow reasonable buildability for users other than beep-base-shop.
Also let me know if I misjudged, and that all components could be simply bought online.
Stay awesome!

@bisschopsr said in BlackCircle Sensor - High "WAF" Temp/Hum. sensor:
Hi All,
Like the design thinking of this, although an older topic I did manage to get me one of these dishes. After taking it apart, I have one question that came to mind. Is the ventilation in the dish enough for the humity sensor? Is there any experience with that after running this sensor for a while?
Thx
Ralph
Hello, yes I think it's enough, in fact there's much more ventilation than in many commercial sensors which only have a small hole. But it's a good test to make, I'll try to compare to a sensor out of it's enclosure to see if there's significant difference or delay.
I have published all the documentation in a Github repository. If someone wants to make PCBs, I recommend that you wait a little longer until you receive my PCBs and try them.

@kimot in theory you might be right, but in practice... it just works. The propability of collisions is extremely low and this is, as far as I know, the only problem you can worry about. After all, it was not my idea to use MySensors with RS485:
