BME280 global shortage

Thanks for your precise answer.
You seem to imply that sht31 may not be a good choice for outdoor measurements, Am I correct ?

You also say you are thinking about making your own (I guess you mean a board with the sensors from a verified supplier). Have you made steps toward this goal ?
(PCBA design, quotation from PCBA supplier…)

I’d be interested in this dev.
integration of DS18B20 seems far from what is usually made for sc sensors, in my opinion.
SHT35 seems really expensive, even in high quantity (mouser : 3.74€ for a thousand).

SHT31-DIS-F2.5kS is a PTFE protected version of SHT31, right ?
Its price for orders of 1000 is 1.79€. With board and assemby, it could mean 3-4€ for a sensor, which is quite acceptable.
On my side, I’d need 500 sensors. If we go at it as a group, ordering 1000 (or even more) seems reachable. What do you think ?

The question is, does this worth it (PCBA design can be time consuming) if BME280 comes back to its usual price in july…
