I think it would be great if the AQM could also be like a TX unit so it's temp and humidity could be mapped on the RX units.

And it can! Temp. and Humidity from AQM can be mapped on the RX, to any of the seven Extra Sensors. By default it is mapped to the last Extra Sensor.
If your though are about using the AQM T/H sensor as your main outdoor T/H sensor, it can't and shouldn't be done, and there are many reasons for this: one of them could be that the AQM T/H sensor, most of the times is installed inside the AQM box (and it should be) near the Dust Sensor, because their main purpose is provide Air Moisture data, to allow compensation of the readings given by the Dust sensor, which should be compensated depending on the RH%
Quote:Yesterday my SHT10 on my TX unit went bung and luckily I had a replacement to swap it out. These sensors don't seem very reliable, I'm lucky to get a year out them (Maybe I should pony up some extra cash and buy the more expensive type). Anyway this got me thinking Smile ....
SHT31 cost less than the SHT10 and will last more time. Anyway if your location have frequent or long periods with high RH%, don't expect more than 2 years from any of them, which is acceptable.
