New temperature sensor limited to -10 to 50 Fahrenheit as a trigger

[Newtonite (Kenny)]

My SmartThings app says a temperature sensor from Sonoff can only report between -10 and 50 degrees F when the temperature is used as a trigger in a routine.
This is really odd.
The current temperature it is reporting is already over 70 degrees F.

I’ve checked its settings on Groovy IDE, and there is no option to change the sensors internal unit from Celsius to Fahrenheit.
(I don’t think the -10 to 50 degrees range signifies that it’s in the Celsius mode to begin with, because the range is too limiting even in Celsius.)

Does anyone have an idea what’s going on?

I have the same problem. Just keep trying it every few minutes and you’ll eventually get fahrenheit numbers back. Mine just keeps going back and forth.

Temperature Routines running as Celsius vice Fahrenheit

This morning it was really cold in my place since the Thermostat was not in Heat Mode. Troubleshooting the situation, I saw on the log page that my Routine for It’s To Hot that sets the Thermostat to Cool Mode when the temperature is over 79 degrees fahrenheit had been constantly activating since yesterday so my Thermostat was in Cool Mode instead of Heat Mode even though the temperature was actually 66 degrees fahrenheit. Troubleshooting this, I tried to create a new Routine using the same fahrenheit settings, but SmartThings would only let me pick up to a number up to just 50 for the temperature setting as the Trigger. So obviously it was thinking Celsius vice Fahrenheit! I didn’t find anywhere in the SmartThings app to see the Fahrenheit or Celsius setting, so off to the IDE I went. I…

You were right. The trigger eventually showed the numbers in Fahrenheit.
