The idea is to get an alert when the room reaches a specific temperature, but since the sensor is inside the case and the air inside doesn’t seem to conduct heat very well, there’s a significant delay in getting the sensor to match the actual room temperature. So much so that the sauna is about 30-40 degrees hotter than the reading, which isn’t great. Using the tag without the case would probably help, but I doubt the tag would last very long. Is this problem solvable? As @otso pointed out I have quite some experience regarding RuuviTags in Sauna. I’ve had a tag in my Sauna for over 3 years now, without enclosure, with typically one Sauna session a week, and no signs of problems yet. I have written about these observations a few times before, [here](https://f.ruuvi.com/t/test-of-humidity-in-closed-versus-open-enclosure/308/3) is a sample of my comparison with and without an enclosure, and a few words about “tag safety in sauna” on the next post right below the linked one. And [here](https://f.ruuvi.com/t/accuracy-at-high-temperatures/3595/3) I wrote a few points about some of my observations regarding Sauna and RuuviTags --- _[View the full topic](https://f.ruuvi.com/t/temperature-readings-delayed/4223)._
