Thank you! And thank you for letting me know it exists at all!

It’s a Sankey diagram!

What sort of graph would that be? I love it, and I want to stare at it forever. I must knowwwww

Made with Sankeymatic, have been tracking budget in google sheets

literally measure temperature in one room then another alternating on every other day then plot out two lines in different colors lol, its so simple

otherwise make two separate graphs... putting them together clearly draws attention to the point of change which is dumb

Thanks that does make sense. Particularly the second option can be carried out simply. Delta ambient at least links to outside temp.

Thanks mate, I think you are the first to offer any suggestions on making my graph more aesthetically pleasing 😂

Wait you understand the graph? Did he uninsulate his room in January??

I doubt that

Deeply shocked that 69% isn't the top ranked.

Not taking away from your effort but I am in the camp that this visual makes little sense.

The main reason is you are not controlling for the possible change in outdoor temps during the period your one sensor was in the uninsulated room.

The temperature monitor you mention is fairly expensive. You should look at the Govee products, which are about $15 per sensor.

Another option (though still susceptible to external temperature changes) use one sensor for 30 days in each room and separately get external weather data for each of those 60 days, and plot the difference between internal and external temperature in each room (x-axis wouldn’t be a date but instead day 1 to day 30). Just a thought.

Well that I can agree on. It sounded like you couldn’t understand the graph entirely because of the lack of context. I just thought it was interesting because it shows how much it really stabilizes temperatures.

Edit: it’s also bad data because it’s not really accurate to measure it on different days, but still. OP did what he could with what he had.

At least its not animated.

I understood his graph perfectly fine? It’s not that hard to read. OP only having one probe has nothing to do with it, it just added context as to why it’s not overlapping. I don’t need specific guidelines to understand a graph, I feel bad if that’s how you have to see this stuff.

Like I said it’s interesting, and I agree that it probably doesn’t fit on this sub. But there’s no way you didn’t understand this graph when you looked at it.

I understood it perfectly, and I sincerely doubt you don’t know what insulation is. I’m sure many other people including me found this interesting.

Maybe you’re right about it not being beautiful, but he said he only had one thermometer. I think he did good with what he had.

I didn’t see anything wrong with the graph and was surprised when I saw the comments. I guess you can be picky about just bout anything nowadays
