Compare sensors before comparing products

A reading needs a location, a time and a temperature.

Check a stable setup

Place sensors in the same environment and give them time to settle according to their instructions. Keep them away from a direct mist stream when making room comparisons.

Describe differences accurately

Our comparison tool reports a difference and an average. It cannot identify the correct sensor or provide a traceable calibration. Record the models and any published accuracy specifications.

Keep uncertainty visible

Small differences may reflect sensor limits, placement or temperature changes. When sharing a before-and-after result, use the same setup and describe what else changed.
