Hey everybody, I have a temperature controller in my place that I'd like to modifiy. It is a basic LightStat controller (it does not have the light sensing feature). The temperatures always seem to run higher than they actually are. I am able to deal with this but my roommate can't seem to do the translation. I was hoping there was just a simple coil to determine the temperature (which I was planning to bend). But, upon opening the case, I noticed they must have used reversed biased zerner diodes to find the temperature (as their reverse biased current varias presicely with the temperature). I believe this company miscorrectly calculates the temperatures within the controller or does not have have the temperature sensor placed appropriately within the housing.
Any ideas on how to modify this to be able to have the same effect as 'bending a coil'? Thanks alot for any insight.
