Hi, mine HomePod mini updated to 16.3 first seemed to be accurate comparing to nearby humidifier but after a few days it shows temp +1C compering to the same humidifier and contactless thermometer. I’ve checked HomePod mini temperature itself and it is +1C higher than ambient temperature and music is just streaming very quietly. Any clue?

My HomePod mini temp readings are quite accurate compared with other devices in the same rooms also about 1deg C out. But the humidity sensors are way out up to 12%. For eg. in my master bedroom, my Meros clock says 69% my dehumidifier says 64%, yet the HomePod mini reports 81%
meros clock and HomePod right next to each other and dehumidifier on the other side of the room.
same in my living room Tado Smart AC reports 67% Dehumidifier 69% and HomePod. 82%

I have been trying to find a way to turn it off. I found this just minutes after I have been monitoring this issue since days after. It always shows warmer than it really is. Currently I have an Ecobee smart sensor in the room and has been there for 3 years now. Always seemed accurate. Lo and behold that flip on that stupid temp and humidity sensor without the option to turn it off. Just minutes ago I checked that room and asked siri for the current temp. The temp ranges from 70 to 75. The ecobee sensor sensor says it is 70. I received yesterday a digital thermometer. I have left it in the room. It is always the same as the eco bee. I think there is a major flaw. The humidity has been shown as twice as high by the HomePod mini as well.
My HomePods seem to register a little higher than a dial thermometer that I have, but I've no way to tell how accurate that it is, and it has 2C increments so I'm not comparing like with like.
