Arlo Baby - Temperature sensor way off

nutti — Fri, 10 Aug 2018 19:51:01 GMT

I've done a recalibration of my Arlo Baby and the temperature sensor is showing 3-5 degrees celsius too high. What gives? Is there anyway I can do a manual adjustment?

nutti,

There can be some variance in the Arlo Baby temperature readout versus temperature reading from an alternative source. Is there anything nearby the Arlo Baby camera in the environment that could be causing a slight variance in temperature?

Thanks for the reply. I actually managed to calibrate it pretty much spot on to what my Netatmo shows.

I had to do a calibration multiple times to get it almost perfect.

So that would be the tip to anyone else struggling with this: Do it multiple times.

Out of curiousity, why is calibration only during the device's boot sequence? Why can't it be run at an arbitrary time triggered via the app's software? That would be much more convenient after moving Arlo between rooms.
