Sensebender Micro
-
Read the spec for the humidity sensor used in the sensebender (Si7021 integrated humidity / temperature sensor.)
Precision Relative Humidity Sensor: ± 3% RH (max), 0–80% RH
To my reading this is actually 6% wrong reading to one of the sides - so when you are measuring yours to be 8% off, is caused that you are using the device outside of humidity range 100% and max is 80%Link to spec:
https://www.silabs.com/Support Documents/TechnicalDocs/Si7021-A20.pdfWhat I want you to know, if your device is reading within 6 % of the value - it's still reading correct. and when you compare ex DHT22 that device also have some reading variation error. Do not expect to get 100% perfect value for 2 devices...

@bjacobse Yes and no :-)
Yes 100% is outside of the spec.
And no. 33% with Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate is inside the spec and I get 40% instead of 33-34%.
Max off should be 3% above or? Means 37% - but fair enough. Should be ok for household use.

I hope the Temp measurements are not off by that much.
i don't need .00001 accuracy or anything. but i feel a big difference between 70 and 72 in my house. -

@nivoc
Yes you are right, +-3 from your humidity solution on 33%, then the reading could be in the interval 33-3=30% or up to 33+3=36% and should not show 40%did you get same false readings from other sensebender humidity sensors?
@bjacobse Yes I have 3 sensbener running from 2 different orders. All 3 are very near by each other. So at 33% they all read something near to 40%.
I have 4 more sensbenders to build. However I continue to test tonight with a Boveda-Pack that claims to bring the hum in a containter to exactly 69%. I did 4 test's so far and also used different technics. So i get more and more confident.
But the very good thing is - it looks every reproducible. So the value may be off but reproducable accurate off by about 8%. When I completed my test it will be very easy to correct it within the software.

there are some measurements in the old design thread here http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/510/minimal-design-thoughts

Got it from http://cpc.farnell.com/1/1/57932-evatron-pp42m-case-sensor-ivory-71x71x27mm.html.
Not the cheapest, but definitely worth the money as it is very good quality. There are other colours available (white and black) https://www.jprelec.co.uk/store.asp/c=552/Gas-Sensor-Case -
@tbowmo: I have some of these too, it's nice box. i got these from tme. cheaper :)

Hello @tbowmo
Doesn't the atmega328 has only 2 pins which are D2 and D3 from external interrupts ?
I am wondering why do we waste the usage of D2 since the IRQ pin is not used in the library ? -

What @Anticimex said.. And at the time when I created the sensebender, I didn't know that the interrupt wasn't used (I was relatively new to the project) so I thought that we had to have it connected..

@Anticimex @tbowmo This a valid point which I thought of but I needed two interrupt pins. As far as I knew from fast searching is that external interrupts which react to CHANGE in pin state are only valid for pins 2 and 3. Correct ?
Maybe there is another solution which I missed.
