Calibrating the environmental sensor

Post by ranous »

Is there any way to calibrate the environmental sensor that comes with the UBPv2? The temp is a couple degrees off, but more significantly, the humidity sensor is way off. Every night it pegs at 100% humidity when it can be as much as 20% lower than the actual humidity. I have a Davis Vantage Pro weather station a dozen feet away, which agrees with the National Weather Service station a few miles away, so I know it's the environmental sensor that is off. Because of the incorrect humidity reading, it's incorrectly calculating the dew point and the dew heater is always cranked to the max.

Hello,
New platform Unity will have this feature in the next release.
It is a feature that was asked lots of times and I also believe it is required

I'm looking for this function in the new Unity software. Where is that in the latest version?

I'm running into the exact same issue with my Advance unit. Has an update been released that will allow us to calibrate the humidity and temp settings? My guidescope dew strap keeps getting very hot and I'm wondering if the incorrect humidity reading is the reason.

Hoping to revive this thread. My PPBA is incorrectly reporting 99% humidiy at all times. What is the fix for this?

The sensor is broken for sure. if you get 99% there is no communication with humidity sensor

Hi
Maybe the sensor is broken.
But that doesn’t give the answer about calibration in Unity.
Any updates in this regard?
Thanks and regards.
