Anybody have any ideas on how to make one. It needs to be open to the air

Yah every time I find a nice shady spot to mount the sensor, an hour later
the damn Sun moves and the sensor is back in direct sunlight. ;-)


FWIW, don't waste your money on one of these because they don't work very
well at shielding the Sun.

What does work (but is expensive) is a solar powered vent mounted on top
of a 12" long piece of 6" ID PVC pipe
