Maestro - Bed temperature reading is out by 15C
-
Is there any configuration needed around the bed temperature sensor to get it accurate? I've just wired up a Maestro and it's reporting the bed to be around 10C when the ambient temperature is 25C. I'll need to check hotter temps, but it was around 62C when set to 50C (if I remember correctly).

Most likely you are using the default settings for the thermistors, which can vary a lot from manufacturer to manufacturer. Can you post your config.g, and what thermistors/temperature sensors (manufacturer and part number, ideally) you are using?
If you are sure you have set this up correctly, check your wiring, particularly any connections; any poor connections may increase resistance, and throw off the temperature reading.

The config was used previously with a Duet Wifi - bed temp reading was accurate with it.

Fixed by changing the bed settings to:
