Hello, I have a glass 6 x 8 aluminium greenhouse and would like advice on where to place the wireless sensor, high or low, front or back, in the sun or shade, any advice would be helpful.

I would suggest that depends upon how many sensors you have and how you have set up your greenhouse.
If you have a nursery section you might want 1 there to control watering the seedlings
You could use 2 and put 1 in sun, 1 in shade to see the temperature/humidity variations.
You might dedicate 1 to each watering zone and pick the hottest spot on each to trigger the watering.
You might have a specimen plant which you want to monitor/protect...
Think there might be a limit on the number of sensors you can use in total ( possibly 4 ).
Play around with it and work out what works best for you. Enjoy
