enviro indoor picow 0.0.9 jittery temperature

Open herbsoft opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

As shown in the image I'm getting jittery results from the picow indoor around temperature readings

jitter

Looks to be a variation of around 0.8C on readings taken every 15 mins

(That +3C in the name is just to remind me that it's reporting about 3C above the actual temperature).

Hi. That is unusual. May I ask, how frequently are you uploading your readings? And how are you powering your board?

I have the same behavior, with spikes of 0.06 °C every 25 minutes. I take a sample every 5 minutes and upload the data every 5 samples: that's 25 minutes... so it is related to the heat generated by the WiFi... so probably on the next sample we should compensate the temperature.

Sorry taken a while to get back to this, I was uploading every 4 results and powering over USB.

I see this two of my three devices, the Enviro Urban and Weather. It does occur in the Indoor, but it's not as obvious, I assume that this is because it doesn't have as much additional hardware on it.

All are currently running on batteries.

Has there been any improvement here? If not I'm wondering about trying to alter the code to do the data upload on a different cycle to reading the data.
