Fibaro
Temperature Sensor Miscalibration
Thermostat shows much higher or lower temperature than actual room temperature

Possible Causes
Incorrect calibration offset in settings, Internal NTC sensor drift, Thermostat installed in recessed box causing heat buildup, Airflow obstruction around thermostat
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No need to access wiring for calibration.
Steps to correct temperature reading:
- 1. Compare with reference thermometer:
- Place a reliable thermometer near the thermostat and wait 15–20 minutes.
- Note the difference between readings.
- 2. Adjust calibration offset:
- In the Fibaro app or device menu, locate the temperature calibration/offset setting.
- Enter the difference (positive or negative) so the thermostat matches the reference.
- 3. Improve airflow:
- Ensure the thermostat is not recessed deeply into the wall box or covered by curtains or furniture.
- 4. Consider external sensor:
- If accurate room temperature is critical, install a Fibaro external room sensor and configure the thermostat to use it.
When to call a professional: If the internal sensor is severely inaccurate even after calibration, the thermostat may need replacement.
