Standalone outdoor device and protection from lightning

scorpionzzz last edited by scorpionzzz

Hi guys.
I make standalone outdoor sensor: APM + DHT22 + nRF24L01 + LiPo charge controller + LiPo battery + Solar battery
Now I think about box design for device (3d printing) and I hesitate about screening of box by aluminum or copper foil connected to scheme ground (except antenna zone and DHT22).
Is screening needs for lightning protection or not? Approximate size of box is 110mm x 40mm x 15mm

Update. This protection is not for direct lightning shoots, but for static fields etc

I would really like to get OTA working here as it's freezing outside and I have to go there to update the software in the greenhouse control system. So please, can we have a 'how to' step-by-step guide to OTA? Please? S.

I bought the Every because it implied it was backward compatible with the nano. No, it's not, as we found out. Be that as it may, any word on a getting the Every working with mySensors?

@Tmaster Never assume the original PCB was just a circuit of components, the PCB can incorporate RF shields and antenna radio ground planes...

Supposedly PIR doesn't work through glass (e.g. if looking for motion through a window), whereas I presume a microwave sensor might still work.

It probably has to do with fewer people buying them once summer ends, so companies might lower prices to clear out stock before winter.
