the years, and have heard different explanations. I have some questions,
please take a moment to read and don't get annoyed that I take a defensive
stance, I am really trying to create a good dialogue, and maybe HAI will read

class=953402806-14012006>My few questions, What is everyone doing with these
temperature sensors that you need .1% accuracy? You cannot program
the HAI system to respond to decimal levels. So your programs have a 1
degree accuracy, and realistically thinking a 2 degree accuracy since you
cannot and should not write a two direction program with the temps setting
closer than 2 degrees.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=953402806-14012006>I have an OP2, and I had about 4 temp and humidity
sensors hooked up to the system prior to my move to my new residence. I
used them for outside temp, and curious things like the temp inside my
controller, my basement, and my second floor. I could care less if the
temp outside was 14 degrees or 18 degrees, regardless I had to dress

class=953402806-14012006>The point of the temperature sensor being next to the
thermostat, I can understand the frustration that they are off by a couple of
degrees. However taking the safe assumption that the error likely tracks
over the temperature range (i.e. your home temps swing about 25 degrees for
extremes) why not just adjust the thermostats to match the temp
sensor.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=953402806-14012006>The same being true for humidity. What are you guys
doing that requires such high accuracy in your home? The application I
have run are like turning the bathroom fan on while taking a shower. The
humidity will climb close to 100% so I write rules that if it exceeds 70% turn
the fan on. If you have an air conditioned home, your humidity levels will
swing between 30-45% Much beyond those levels you got problems like static
electricity build up and mold. Again I don't see an application that
requires such high accuracy.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
