Temp sensor weird

Post by troylong45 »

I got 2 temperature sensors one is off like 1 degree but that's not the weird part they read only Every .9 degrees when I hooked it up the water temp on web graph was 83.4 82.5 81.6 80.7 79.8 78.8 . Is that right ? Code issue maybe or something wrong with these ebay 15ft temperature probes I got when ra shipping was on hold.

I got to find something out if keeps jumping back and forth from 79.7 to 78.8 and making my heat port trigger rapidly I can't remember if it used to do this befor with old probe. I thought it read every 0.1 degree

I'd guess it's the 15ft probes.

Should. I've never seen that behavior and I'm using the long probe from the store.

Probably cheap Chinese junk lol I'll try splicing a end on my 4ft odd one and see it that works I need new one cus the wires came out the plug and broke .

Do u know if there's and issue with splice and solder 4ft into a 10ft by adding 6ft on to the 4ft one.
