Incorrect outside temperature
« on: May 18, 2024, 08:24:32 AM »
VWS, Win10, Ultimeter U2100.    Only recently noticed that the outside temp is actually displaying +>5. Searching a method to pre load a correction via VWS. Is this possible or should just go ahead and replace the sensor?
TIA

5 degrees off seems like a lot. I would look into calibrating the sensor. If you can’t calibrate it then replace it. Offset the reading as a last resort.

Perhaps not relevant but my outdoor sensor is definitely incorrect when the humidity is about ~97%.
What is your humidity at the time the reading is high?
