Had to replace the anemometer, and resolder a raingauge sensor.
I have to go up on the roof every 1-2 years. Solar powered, on same small battery for 10yrs.
Worth every penny.

I had the same when I was in the house. I had 2 sets of remote sensors. One set of sensors was temp (with a fan and cover), and rain and mounted on the fence about 5' over the grass in the back yard. It was wirelass with battery and solar backup. The other set of sensors were anemometer and weather vane with wireless with battery and solar backup. I can't remember which set of sensors had the humidity sensor, but seems most likely it was with the temp and rain sensors. Central unit inside the house. I think I had that for 5-10 years. I never had a problem. I don't think I ever even had to replace a battery.
