This is my first time posting here. I haven’t dealt with outdoor electronics like this before, so I just want to make sure I’m setting everything up properly as to not damage the equipment. I am going to be installing the RAK19007+RAK4631 into this enclosure https://store.rakwireless.com/products/unify-enclosure-ip67-150x100x45mm-with-pre-mounted-m8-5-pin-and-rp-sma-antenna-ip-rated-connectors?index=93&variant=42861623771334. I have already ordered the RAK1901 temperature and humidity sensor module so I can remotely monitor those metrics when I begin using the device as an outdoor node and silica gel packets to prevent too much moisture, but I wanted to see if anyone here has had experience with running a similar configuration. Right now, I’m most worried about heat. Considering the device will charge via the solar panel on the enclosure, I need to have it set up in at least direct sunlight, but because of that, I’m worried about heat damage from the Central Texas sun. I am using the MakerHawk 4000mAh 3.7V 14.8Wh LiPo battery for this project if that tidbit helps.

Thank you
