Farm Innovators 4250 Temp and Humidity Experiment

[casportpony]

In this experiment I will set five temperature/humidity sensors in a Farm Innovators Pro Series Digital Incubator - Model 4250

Four of the sensors are this wireless Xiomi

The fifth sensor is this wireless Sensirion:

The sensors have been placed together to calibrate them against each other. Xiaomi sensors are numbered Xiaomi 1-4 from left to right.

Data is transferred wirelessly and produces these charts so I can monitor the sensors without opening the incubator.

The four of the sensors will be placed in the corners of the incubator, and one will be placed in the middle.

Following, this is the make and model of my incubator. Using their controls, my eggs hatch late (some not at all), using a store bought thermometer my eggs hatch early. I looked up my model of pharmacy bought thermometer and I can't even change it from cent. to farenh., let alone calibrate the thing. It's a microlife MT 700 thermometer, and downloaded the instructions in English (today) on their website since it was packaged with only Spanish instruction. Cannot calibrate it, and to claim warranty, I'd have to prepay to ship it to SWITZERLAND from Panama, with original receipt (you know the receipt type, the ones that turn to blank white pieces of paper after 3 weeks??), in other words... I can't even send the thing in for a replacement. It was an expensive thermometer, close to $30 (and was the cheapest they had at the store).

That's quite a difference from #1 vs #4, over 4 degrees F.
