Philips Outdoor Sensor - Temperature reporting settings

Does anyone know if the setting for reporting temperature change is actually in Celsius even though my temperature settings are in Fahrenheit? Or is this just a UI thing?

Staff would probably have to comment to say for sure (though you could probably get an idea from your device history), but I'd assume this is still that amount of change in Celsius. Internally, I know the indoor sensor works in terms of something like centi-degrees Celsius, I assume the outdoor sensor is similar, and these configuration options are probably based on that regardless of your hub's unit settings.

That's what I'm suspecting. I had my setting at 1 C (thought it was 1 F!) and I wasn't seeing the data flowing into Nodered even though the device page showed it had changed by 1 F. I changed it to 0.5 C and will see what/when it publishes.

Mine are set at 0.5C. Below are empirical snippets from two, for your review and consideration. My crude analysis suggests that changes can be a bit more than 0.5C, but not sure if the limitation is timing, resolution, or otherwise.

Thanks - I have set mine at 0.5C as well and it's triggering at about where you are seeing.

It is, the thermostat operates in Celsius internally.
