I have number of temperature items.  
I Set the following parameters : Temp max interval : 60 (s), Temp min change : 10 (0,1°)

And the most often, I get one measure every hour, or half an hour …  
And the measures differs of more than 0,1° …

I do not understand what happens !

And as I was planning tu use these measures to manage my heating this winter … it seems I got a big issue !

For most devices: When a value is changed (more than the minimum step), it sends an update.  
The frequency is limited b/c battery life, but a change should be reported within seconds.

It also depends on the brand, model and app, and what users can set

What does the `10` mean when you want a sensitivity of 0.1?

Can you show a screenshot of the device settings?  
What’s the brand + model sensor?

(Btw, do you trust Homey + wireless sensors enough with your heating system?)

I have yet to see a cheap temperature sensor that’s accurate to 0.1°C

I tried to restart the Homey, but without any result …  
These are the device setting and the curves :

My thoughts:

- Temp min change should be 0.1 instead of 10  
While to me it seems, it is the minimum difference in values it should act on.

(And a hint for Hum change, it should be 1 instead of 100 I guess)

In fact, I don’t care about humidity ! That’s why …  
Regarding temperature, I understand that 10 = 0,1°

I wonder if a device is not fed up the channel ?  
Because in the past, didn’t encounter this issue.

I’m going to reset the Zigbee network …

Are you keeping the device awake while changing these settings?

I don’t understand the meaning of ‘awake’ in this case …  
I restart the app.

I’ve just reset the Zigbee network.  
I’m now on channel 25 (WIFI Channel 1) which is fine.

I repair one device, 30 minutes ago.  
I got a strange warning : repair impossible, this item is not the right one …  
But , finally, it is successful

But I still got the same issue : the measure known by Homey (29,1 since 2 hours, it says) differs from this on the device (28,9)

After that, I delete the device and pair it again.  
And, now, it seems working correctly …  
I breathe on the device and it reacts immediatly

I don,t understand the why of this issue … probably a big bug within Homey ??  
But how to investigate ??

</div>

After a while, the issue seems to be still here !  
Homey says 29,6° and the device : 29,2°  
The parameters of the device are 1s, 0.1°

At first try, the humidity curve is reactive while the temperature curve seems stuck on …

Searching info on this device : SNZB-02D, I saw that this issue seems very common. The probleme would be due to a bad (partial) initialization while the pairing.  
So, I try to repair and during the insertion, I press the button on the device several times.  
And now, it is working correctly !  
Neverthemore, the minimal increment seems to be 0,2°, even on the device
