Temperature Home app vs Siri

[Mr-iX]

The temperature is shown correctly in the Home app, but Siri always says the wrong temperature.

                {
                    "name": "Schwimmbad Temperatur",
                    "type": "temp",
                    "currentTempItem": "Temp_Pool"
                },

Can you try to define the item as per readme instructions. I don’t have the issue with my setup so maybe explicitly specifying the temp unit will fix it.

{ "name": "An items name, as shown in Homekit later", "type": "temp", "currentTempItem": "Itemname-within-OpenHAB", "tempUnit": "Celsius", "minTemp": "-100", "maxTemp": "200", "minStep": "0.1" }

I worked out that the 'incorrect' temperature was actually just the Celsius temperature converted to Fahrenheit, but displayed as Celsius.

Thanks @extric99, this approached worked for me. Specifically I went from this config:

                {
                    "name": "Room Temperature",
                    "type": "temp",
                    "currentTempItem": "Room_Temperature",
                }

to this config:

                {
                    "name": "Room Temperature",
                    "type": "temp",
                    "currentTempItem": "Room_Temperature",
                    "tempUnit": "Celsius"
                }

after which Siri starts to report temperatures correctly.

Could it be that, against the documentation, that tempUnit does not default to Celsius?

@extric99 Thanks that solved it!
