The battery is ok now but the temp report is still inaccurate. I use sensor in webcore to start a boiler at specific temp but I can’t rely on it at this point with temp adjust feature.
What if you use it without offset temperature?
You can adjust the temp set point 0.3 ° in the preference presets in the thermostat modes you use.
When you use a temperature-only driver, without a thermostat, does the temp Offset work well?
I’m going to try my sensor, it’s not Aqara, but I’ll see what it does
First i will try to use it without the offset temperature and monitor it.
I use it only to monitor the temperature in a zone that has UFH system and to set the thermostat (Tado) to start the boiler. Because Tado has and old app integration, i used webcore to start it when Aqara sensor detect a specific temperature.
Temperature on my Aqara sensor is accurate, almost matches in decimal point in Fahrenheit units, with an ecobee thermostat, and about 6 different temperature sensors. I have 0 correction.
Stand same for Humidity.
I am always testing sensors by placing them next to other sensors sand comparing the values. Also old fashion mercury thermometer is there just in case.
Only one that I am comparing to AccuWeather is Atmospheric Pressure, as I don’t have other device that can do accurate measurement. Some times I have to trust internet.
Everything OK. It works perfectly. I just had to restart HUB

@milandjurovic71 I also compared the Aqara sensor temperature with other thermostats that I have and mine is also accurate. I use temperature offset because is a 0.3 C difference between center of the room and the place where is mounted ( i can’t move it ) . Is not a big deal, i just wanted to correct this difference with temperature offset.
(NEW RELEASE) Version 2.2 of Beta Edge Drive Zigbee Temp Sensor with Thermostat Mc
Thanks to @milandjurovic71, he had tested this new version of Driver.
Thanks to @GiacomoF, for suggesting to show atmospheric pressure in mBars to compensate for the low precision shown in kPa (10 mBar) , as could be seen in the groovy DTH.
For sensors with capability of measuring atmospheric pressure, a Custom Capability is added to display the information in mBar.
It has been tested with an Aqara Weather and Smartthings Motion sensors.
To improve the information of Battery for Aqara sensors, the xiaomi_utils.lua that @Zach_Varberg shared in github repository has been used. Thanks
The sensor models that are in Zigbee Temp Humidity Sensor Mc driver will also be added to the Zigbee Temp Sensor with Thermostat Mc driver, in case want to convert it into a sensor with thermostat functions.
As it has a custom capability, in Hubs that do not have firmware version 40.0006, they will have to do a Reboot from the Hub IDE or turn it off, only once after the first installation of a device.
Need delete app memory cache for new capability presentation.
To facilitate the update, I am going to change version 2.0 to the name Zigbee Temp Sensor and Thermostat Mc-(OLD).
I will publish the new version 2.2 with the original name Zigbee Temp Sensor and Thermostat Mc .
In this way, your driver installed will have the name with (OLD) , indicating that there is a new version available and you can install the new version with a driver change whenever you want.

Hi @Catalin_S,
Install version 2.2 and see if it works better for you with temp offset.
I have modified so that it takes the current temperature directly from the message sent by the sensor, instead of get the last state stored.
At this temperature the offset will be added and it will be the Current temperature for the calculations.
It works well for me with both methods, but I like this one better.
In the temperature graph of the app you should see temperature information every 5 minutes even if it is repeated, and in the history you will only see events with temperature changes of at least 0.1 °
I have Installed new driver and restarted the hub at 7AM. All was ok until 12 PM. I think I will use it without offset settings.
Now I will test the driver without the thermostat settings.
. See the attached photo

How odd!!!
Could it have to do with some intermittent device failure?
I have had 2 devices running with negative temp offset for a whole day and no bad event came out.
It could be.
For now, i installed only the sensor driver, set the temperature offset to -0.1C an rebooted the hub.
I will monitor it to see how it works.

Strangely, it did pair but paired as a eWelink motion Sensor using zigbee motion sensor driver. it didnt do that when i tried before
. always jpined as stock dth thing
Yes, there is a motion sensor with the same model and manufacturer.
Don’t worry, you can make a driver change from the device, menu driver, use another driver
