dated earlier than six years from now may still work, but may be unstable in

Mounting under an eave or deck rail works well.
If you choose, you can construct a small roof or box for the outdoor sensor. Be
sure a box has vents.
Mount the outdoor sensor on the North side where to prevent sun from causing
incorrect readings.
Mount at least 6 feet in the air for a strong RF (radio frequency) signal.
Do not mount the outdoor sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces
the effective
