I had the exact same problem a couple of summers ago. The sensor used to
stop sending data when the temperature reached a certain value. I think
you were wise to order a spare - I hung on a month but still needed a
new one when the next warm-ish spell arrived.


Freddie, I hadn't thought that temperature might be a problem. It has
got through this last hot spell till today. Maybe it's time I got a
proper temp set up Met Office standard with mercury and all that. Gosh,
expensive. I'll think about it for a year or six.
