SDerbyshire you can get Temp, press, and humidity in one sensor now . BME280 same with IMU, Compass, then you just need a GPS .
Maybe so, but seems extremely limiting having just one temperature reading measured in the same location as the press/humidity sensor when it's easy to break out ds18 sensors to the engine etc and get much more useful readings.
PaddyB are you deliberately being thick or misleading? You deliberately cut my post, in your quote, to remove the part where I advocate 1W sensors (the DS18 are 1W you know?).
However the DS18 are not as useful for meto monitoring, that is why something like the BME280 (temp, pressure, humidity) is so good for that part of the system.
I use several 1W sensors to monitor various diverse things such as sea water temperature, engine exhaust, alternator and batteries. They are a great tool but not the only tool.
