Temperature Display Issue Solved: A Quick Fix Journey

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share a quick fix I found for an issue I was having with my thermostat in Home Assistant. It’s been a bit of a learning curve, but I’m thrilled to have it sorted out! :tada:

So, the problem was that my thermostat was displaying temperatures multiplied by 10. For example, if it was actually 22°C, it was showing 220°C. Pretty wild, right? :sweat_smile: I was a bit confused at first, thinking maybe it was a sensor issue or something more complicated. But after doing a bit of research and checking the settings, I realized it was a simple scaling factor that needed adjusting.

Here’s how I fixed it:

  1. Identify the Issue: I noticed that the temperature readings were way off. After checking the device logs and settings, I saw that there was a scaling factor applied to the temperature sensor.
  2. Adjust the Scaling Factor: In Home Assistant, I went into the thermostat’s configuration and found an option to adjust the scaling factor. I changed it from 10 to 1, effectively dividing the temperature reading by 10.
  3. Test the Changes: After saving the changes, I monitored the thermostat for a few hours to ensure the temperatures were now accurate.

It was such a relief to see the correct temperatures showing up! I know this might seem like a minor issue, but for someone new to Home Assistant like me, it was a big hurdle. I’m so grateful for the helpful community and the wealth of information available online. :blush:
