Anyone have insight into why my heat temperature profile would be technically inverted. The slope is technically -0.0177, so basically flat. I would expect to see it at least be trending the other way around. --- ## [Outdoor temperature source](https://community.beestat.io/t/outdoor-temperature-source/1432)
