Review on Computer Thermometer Software Logging Temperature by Kenny Marozas

I'm using this with Linux, not Windows, but I've tried the Windows software, which needs to be downloaded from the pcsensor website. The software seemed a little iffy, but it helped me make sure my sensor was working. Please note that initially the external temperature sensor was not determined by me. I contacted support and they asked me to check if it's fully connected, the last bit is harder to enforce. That was the problem for me, the last click didn't work and after I fixed it it worked fine. For Linux, I use the Temper.py python code that reads sensor data from these devices. It works fine for me and supports reading internal or external temperature value. One thing I've noticed recently as the weather got cooler is that these two sensors I installed don't seem to report temperatures below about 7.5 degrees C (45.5 F). The description says it should withstand down to -40C but that's not what I see. Each day my temperature data chart bottoms out at around 45.5 F. That's not a problem for my use, but it doesn't match what the description says. I haven't tested this limitation with pcsensor's Windows software, but this is the result I get with the Temper.py python script. So far I have had a sensor in continuous use for about 10 days without any problems.
