Anyone’s experience with the accuracy of the seneye tem, ph & ammonia test sensor ?!

Hi guys.
I’m wondering if anyone can give me any experience they’ve had with the seneye sensor reef tester. Are the tests accuracy any good? I’m cycling today day 1 a new Red Sea nano. It’ll come in handy if it’s actually any good. So far I’m tsmaking it back as the slide says expired and the temp is 2 1/2 degrees lower than my digital tester. Big difference!

As with any of these electronic gadgets- and any sensors for that matter they are there to serve as guidance and as an aid to your reef keeping

With the Seneye; I am using it as only one of four sources of temperature input on my tank (along with Apex and 2 x Inkbird controllers). When determining the actual temperature of the tank; i'd take the average of all my sensors (plus the portable thermometer I have) and calibrate basis that.

For pH, it gives you a good trend and closely follows my Apex probe and for ammonia; it's hard to say whether it's precise or not. I would trust it over an API test kit for sure but you can never trust anything 100% without verifying

I bought the Seneye used as a budget PAR meter. The rest of the above is a bonus for me!

What main use do you want from it?

My experience is that you need to calibrate the temp sensor.

The pH sensor is accurate enough - keeping in mind it drifts as the slide ages.

The ammonia sensor is very accurate and is great when running a Quarantine tank.

Don't forget a new slide takes 2-3 days to settle.

Cool. Thanks for your reply . I’ve noticed the temp on the system is around 2 degrees lower than my 2 digital testers which is off putting I mainly want it for ammonia while cycling a new tank ph of course and the rest is bonus.

Aha. How do I calibrate the temp ? I’ll google that 1.
