After the 24th, Office Temperature OpenTRV is consistently a few degrees higher than the emonTH. To the best of my knowledge nothing has changed other than the firmware.

Is this a unit with the receiver always on (ie a hub with ‘C’ > 0), and does it have good air-flow?  I have stopped trying to turn the receiver on to reduce self-heating, at least for the moment.
