I'm incubating chickens and I have the sensor hanging from the roof of the incubator. It was accurate untill day 14 when the temp on the sensor suddenly sharply spiked to a lethal temp for chicken development. At first I tried to adjust the incubator but then threw in 4 manual hygrometer/thermometers. This sensor is now completely inaccurate for temp and humidity temp up to 3 full degrees celcius both higher and lower. We are still in the period where I like humidity below 50% and any water is added to the base of the incubator. So what is going on with this sensor?

To follow up on this one, i suspect this sensor is faulty and likely has been for a while. Put in even more backup checks of humidity and temp and this sensor is up to 3 degrees higher or lower with no rhyme or reason. Now with a combination of other digital hygrometres and manual temp and humidity, this sensor has been behaving erratically from day one.

Avoid facing T310's sensor detector toward the location that may cause temperature and humidity data fluctuations, such as an exhaust port or in front of a heater.

 

What brand of sensor did you use for comparison? Where are the T310 and the other sensors placed? Please share some pictures here.
