My sensors not even has been outside yet… so I think I bought bad quality stuff.
So that's the overview of the sensor manufacturer:
https://www.sensirion.com/en/environment...lications/
According to the manufacturers info the sensor should be able to handle outside conditions, you only might get an offset if humidity is very high for a long time, which is self healing.
I do not think the communication with the Arduino has any influence of the lifetime, since the sensor is powered up all the time and suitable for a lot of applications having at lest the same demands.
That's why I'm up to sourcing from a more expensive supplier or trying to get some breakout boards on my own and buy the sensor with protective cover from a big named supplier.
