I currently use a Fine Offset WH1081 and that provides interior and exterior humidity readings.
I am doing this project to replace it and supply a lot more data such as Solar/UV readings.
I have just noticed that there does not appear to be a humidity sensor on the TX board, so how do I get an exterior humidity reading?
Also is it possible to add a soil sensor?
Readings of outside temperature and humidity, are obtained through a single sensor. The same for inside readings.

Actually a soil sensor is not supported.
Thanks for that Werk.
What Solar and UV sensors do you suggest?
Any chance of a soil sensor being supported?
You have to build yourself the Solar and UV sensors for the WeatherDuino Pro2. Build the UV sensor it's easy, the Solar sensor it's a bit more complex. I wrote a long article on the subject, but it's written in Portuguese language. Maybe you can use google to translate it, and try to understand how it works. Anyway the article
is here.
Maybe someone can translate it to English.
Perhaps in the future, support for a soil sensor can be added, but not so near. I will keep your suggestion.

I am another person who would like to see support added for Soil Moisture sensing, like e.g. the Davis Vantage Pro2 / Plus has when you add the 160 GBP extra sensor module LOL. Hopefully you will consider this soon. I already ordered a TX and also a RX board from you and I will try and start building my system soon.
Eventually I would like to see support added for visibility sensing (Infra Red sensor picking up how much beam is reflected back from IR emitting diode beam), a Fog / mist sensor, snow depth sensor, soil temperature sensor, and maybe even cloud height sensor! Don't know how these can be implemented but if you are determined, some might be possible? Well I can dream can't I 8-)
