We analysed literature data and our experimental results to determine why the readings of different temperature sensors might be notably different in air despite being placed in close proximity. We attributed these differences to two factors—unrestricted air movements and differences in the sensors’ response times. After elimination of these factors, the temperature readings of Pt100 and DS18B20 sensors exhibited an excellent agreement which, together with the convenient networking features provided by the DS18B20 sensors, confirmed their suitability for our use case.
