Both have an effect but when we tested it, the pms sensors were less impacted by the enclosure heat up than a separate sensor inside the enclosure. However this was at much higher temperatures than what we are looking at right now.
Our science team is currently analyzing a lot of data and I hope I can soon share some of these results.
Has there been a final validation of the operating temperature yet. It looks like the latest spec sheet suggest it can only measure temperature from 0C - 70C. That admittedly doesn’t seem very use for much of the more northern part of the US/Globe. Should we expect to bring these devices in during the winter if it will be getting below freezing?
Mine has been outside down to single digit F without an issue.
My outdoor got to -14F (-25C) this winter for a day or two with no issues, fwiw . . .
welp guess i’ll just put mine out there and hope for the best
Hi @garynotcoleman,
As a few others have said, we’ve seen these devices continue to perform outdoors in very cold conditions even if the sensor isn’t officially rated for it.
