1. So the issue with stats getting out of sync seems to be due to **msg.socketid** if I delete that property the values update correctly, not sure if you can remove that within your template or if its added afterward by NR ?

2. ambient\_temperature: 20.7  
target\_temperature: **"19.5"** change to a number

3. **rounding errors eg** target temp of 20.1 and 20.2 is shown as 20.1, target temp of 20.3 and 20.4 is shown as 20.3
