Should the Outdoor Temp / Humidity senor work the same inside and out side?I have had the array inside for 3 days. regardless of if the unit was level or not, it read 72.3 ... in a climate controlled room that was set at 78 and confirmed by both the Ambient indoor sensor and the AC thermostat. I adjusted the room temp up and down over the course of hours from 78, to 72 (in the night time hours) to 80 and back to 78 and the Ambient senor array did not change even though it was placed right next to the AC thermostat temp prob for the room.
BUT ... when I today sent the array back out side in the sun ... it immediately began sensing temps again. It did not work in the shade leaned almost level up against the building, but began working when gently set in in a hole for the pole and made sure the pole was level.
I am sending the unit back ... but Ambient says they only pay shipping for items that are defective within 30 days ( I meet those requirements), but what if it decides to start working when it arrives out west? I guess I could send them all the tables and my notes from the past 3 days.
