Temp reading not correct? #16

Open Nornode opened 4 years ago

Temp sensor readings seem way off from actual? Screenshot 2020-06-08 at 14 23 07 The other sensor is about 1 meter away and is a cheap 433mhz sensor that is very consistent along with another Zwave sensor on the main floor.

The humidity sensor seems to be just a few procent off from other sensor and does not have a large impact.

Did you ever open up and check what exact sensor chip is in this fan?

No never took mine apart. Kinda need it and didn't find it necessary. I haven't taken the effort to reconfigure mine as a heat mover, which would likely reveal temperature related stuff in the app. But to be honest, I just think they didn't care too much about absolute values being calibrated. The other sensor thresholds have been quite crude.

You'd likely be best off by offsetting the temperature. If this seems alright, maybe we should add the ability to specify that offset directly.
