How To "Throw Out" Outlier Data?

[BrianP]

I modified a User Driver to filter bad values. Specifically, the Advanced Honeywell T6 Pro thermostat driver occasionally got negative humidity values:

[NOT MAINTAINED] Advanced Honeywell T6 Pro Z-Wave Thermostat Driver

I just put in a simple pull request on GitHub, to prevent this from reporting humidity sensor results that are out of range. I just simply put in a check for the value being between 0 and 100, otherwise it doesn't report the event and puts a log.info about the bad result (not sure if that logging is necessarily required, maybe could be log.debug). I would get occasional values like '-124' from this driver. I'm guessing the hardware just reports bad data occasionally.

The modification is at:

Prevent bad values from humidity sensor

The driver logs when it has to skip a value, and it happens every so often, maybe once a day or so.

It's possible to modify a user driver to filter impossible values like that. I don't like those values to be sent, so I just log the error. Not sure what to do with system drivers.
