Known issue with Thermistor V2

Blue configuration

Temperature Reading Below -90°C

When no probes are connected in the Blue configuration, the temperature reading defaults to -90°C. This necessitates setting a minimum threshold of -90°C in the Stream configuration in the ATEK platform to ensure proper functioning. Failing to do so means that if the probe gets disconnected, the sensor won't trigger an inactive alert. 

Importance of Stream Configuration Setting

To accommodate this behavior, it is necessary to set a minimum threshold of -90°C in the Stream configuration on the ATEK platform. This setting is crucial for the sensor's functionality. 

Consequence of Not Setting Minimum Threshold

If the minimum threshold is not set to -90°C, there's a risk that the sensor will not trigger an inactive alert in case the probe gets disconnected. This is because the sensor would interpret the -90°C default reading as a legitimate temperature reading, rather than recognizing it as an indication of probe disconnection.

Temperature Reading above -10°C

When using the Blue configuration, the Thermistor V2 has a limitation in accurately reading temperatures above -10°C. It fails to display accurate readings for temperatures higher than this threshold.

This limitation is significant for applications requiring precise temperature measurements above -10°C. In such cases, switching to the Yellow configuration on the module board is advisable, even when using the Blue probe, to ensure more accurate readings in the higher temperature range.
