I have built a little thermostat based on BMP280 temperature sensor over I2C, ESP8266 Lolin v3 and STX882 433Mhz transmitter.

I have not added additional pull-up resistors or decoupling capacitors.

Everything works fine when the components are out of the enclosure (see picture), but when I put them inside the enclosure the BMP280 readings start to 'oscillate' as shown in this picture

I am not an electrical engineer and the only thing I can think of is that there is some kind of interference between the transmitter and the BMP280 or I2C bus.

To give you and idea I am also attaching two pictures of the thermostat.

Any suggestion?

EDIT: It was sufficient to move away the RF Transmitter. I have actually hidden it under the LoLin.
