The long term drift of the sensor is &lt;0.04C\/yr and &lt;0.5 RH\/yr so in most applications it doesn&#8217;t usually need calibration. If you need accuracy better than this you will usually need to calibrate in the software of the phone\/device that receives the beacon signal. That is, you will need to periodically measure the real temperature\/humidity using another calibrated instrument and apply any offset to the read values.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beaconzone.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/s5_smaller-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9453\" style=\"width:234px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beaconzone.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/s5_smaller-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.beaconzone.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/s5_smaller-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beaconzone.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/s5_smaller-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.beaconzone.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/s5_smaller-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.beaconzone.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/s5_smaller.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">S5 Sensor beacon<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option is to use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beaconzone.co.uk\/S5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one beacon, the S5<\/a>, that does have a temperature\/humidity calibration certificate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have several clients using the temperature\/humidity sensor beacons in industrial situations.
