This is a wireless, solar powered chicken coop sensor that measures ambient temperature and relative humidity inside of a chicken coop. It is made out of the internals of the soil/garden sensor that I posted here. Once the 3D printed components are done, It is made to be easy to install. All you need is a drill, 2" hole saw and 4, #6 woodscrews. No other wiring is needed it is all self contained.  This is still a work in progress with a number of improvements to be done in next few weeks

1) A HTU21d to measure ambient temp and relative humidity OUTSIDE of the coop.  2) Enlarge clearance holes to a #6 woodscrew passes easier though it. 3) Dust cover to help partially enclose the DHT22 from dust, etc... 4) Add ammonia sensor. 

Long Term 1)Finish BOM 2)Code on GITHUB
