Hi There is a temperature monitor IC on the TBolt PCB. It is an older Dallas Semiconductor part. You can dig into the archives for all the details on which version gives you the best results. The simple answer is that it’s not hurting anything and there is no real reason to fix it, unless you just *have* to know the temperature.
