my EAF's built in temp sensor is about 5° warm on average, and can jump a degree in either direction with every reading. Its horrific..

I use the external one, plugged into the EAF and that is far more accurate, but jumps around a lot...

I wrote a NINA plugin that acts as a mediary between NINA and the EAF. focus operations happen in real time, as if my plugin is not there, but the temperature readout is cached in the plugin, and updates once every 30s with the average of the previous 30 'live' readouts, ditching any significant outliers...

That's enough to let me set up a temperature compensation model.

Annoyingly, my Wanderer Astro powerbox has an external temperature and humidity sensor that are unbelievably stable, and accurate to within 0.5° of my home weather station, but NINA likes to ignore that temperature reading entirely.

I might look at writing another plugin at some stage.
