Hi,

I just installed the DS1822 temp sensor and its reading about 6 degrees higher that it should. I see there is no way to calibrate it on the Webcontrol8 web page. Is it possible to calibrate?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Gary

Gary,

That seems way off, the stated accuracy is +- 0.5 c Or +- 0.9F for the DS1822. I'm using premade temp sensors (Hilitchi 3m/9.8ft Waterproof Temperature Sensors Digital Temp Probe (Pack of 5pcs) from amazon and accuracy is very good. I would check another sensor.

I used some old Cat 5 wire for the main run from the Web control (need twisted pair to decrease interference). The sensors coming off a short distance ( length of cable supplied on probe) from the main run.

No calibration in Webcontrol, If this delta is real need to us a program in your home control device to correct.

Thanks Eric, the DS1822 seems hard to get anyway. I think I will give the Hilitchi 3m/9.8ft Waterproof Temperature Sensors Digital Temp Probe (Pack of 5pcs) a try.

Thanks

Hi Gary,

No, sorry. No temp calibration in Webcontrol8 or 832 is available. I never thought I would have a need to add that function

I may look at it one day, but I am working 2 other plugins that are consuming my time right now.

Out of curiosity, are you using Webcontrol8 plugin or Webcontrol832?

Hi Tim,

I am using the Webcontrol8. I had to get the DS1822 sensor from China as it appears they are not made anymore and I wasn't sure what sensor could take its place. So I will be trying the Hilitchi sensors as recommended by Eric. Hopefully they will work fine.

Thanks for a great NS.
