Do you have problems with condensation in this waterproof enclosures? Do you use something to protect electronics?
IP54 is not really water proof. It is not intened to be completely outdoor.
I would suggest scilica-gel pouches and a membrame as suggested elsewhere on this forum.
My is IP66, and with temperature changes it made me big problems.
Where are you buying membranes?

Can recommend Gore PolyVent. Not really cheap, but professional and troublefree…

As a special treat at the Reading TTN Conference meetup on the 14th October, I will be giving away some very useful items for producing PCB designs.
They are 2:1 scale transfers and the latest thing in PCB design (in the 1970s).
Stricktly limited to one transfer per person.

That’s a very tight fit.
Metal case to keep the WiFi signals inside? 
I don’t use wifi but a little cable to the onboard 4 g router… will be some ventilation holes, the whole construction is build ‘industrial ridgid’ 
first test

Sadly not… too young & handsom I’m sure. Family matters got in way of early escape so only got to Reading hotel ~23:00 as everywhere shut! 
Still early start in morning and gave chance to setup pop-up gateway at hotel (well what else would you expect ) so probably not a bad thing and can sink beers with those promised tomorrow night instead
