[Hai-users] Temp sensors accuracy again.

[Brad]

Thanks for the replies Ken. Your explanation makes lots of sense. Hadn't
thought of the wire length issue.

I'm comparing the readings to a $300 Kestrel 4100 Pocket HVAC tool.
Its temp specs are +/- 1.8 degrees.
Humidity specs are +/-  3%

I also have 3 of the Radio Shack gauges, and those and the Kestrel agrees
with each other within a few tenths of each other on temp and Humidity.

Just curious, if your humidity readings are off what are you comparing them
to? I believe the Radio Shack humidity sensor is accurate to +/- 5 %. If the
HAI is also +/- 5% the difference between the two could be 10% and they'd be
within specs.

In my case, the thermostats readings are very accurate; it is the Temp.Humid
sensor's that are off.

The new temp/humid sensors can not be calibrated. The Thermostats can be if
needed.

I have a similar setup with an Omnistat and a Temp sensor in the hallway
near the same room and see the same 3 - 5 degree difference.  I have not
cheeked to see which is more correct.  Does anyone else know if it can be
adjusted or just the thermostat?

 Just installed 3 HAI temp/humidity sensors. Also installed 3 HAI OmniStats
with remote temp sensors. The Thermostat remote sensors and the
Temp/Humidity sensors are mounted on inside walls within 6 inches of each
other, each set in a different room. Temp/Humidity sensors show temps being
3-5 degrees higher than the thermostats show.

Apparently HAI STILL has not resolved the issue of the Temp/Humid sensor's
being inaccurate.

The Humidity is reading low on them as well. Very frustrating.

Anyone else seeing this?
