DHT31 in a waterproof case

DHT31 in a waterproof case was delivered promptly,
after a short supply delay. Works well on a Raspberry Pi.

One small quibble - packaging for post is larger than is really needed.

The delivery was great

The delivery was great! Very fast.

I had a problem with my Raspberry Pi4 in that it suddenly would not boot up. The red LED was constantly flashing and I had tried another power supply, no go. It was out of warranty so no issues there. But I was informed that when the power supply did not fix the problem, it would be the Raspberry board itself that was faulty so I bought a new board. This did not fix the problem either and the actually problem turned out to be fan cooling board in the Argon case.
I now have a surplus Raspberry bought for $240 that I have no use for.
This is not really a criticism but feedback in case someone else has the same problem - the problem MAY be fan cooling board.
