Solar radiation readings at night
#8

I think this has something to do with the humidity in the box - I will dismantle it and dry it to check.

Yesterday I opened my enclosure and noticed - as expected - that some wter leaked inside through the hole made for the unique wire input. The wire moved a bit and the silicon did not hold it tight.
I cleaned the enclosure as well as the PV cell (there was a good level of dust on it), but the glass covering the UV sensor was crystal clear.
I used some Araldite to secure the wire and seal the hole.

When everything was put back in place I noticed for the first time a value of 10W/m2 at night. I then update the threshold from 4 to 15 in the RX_TX tab and all readings are good now.
