Temperature sensor reaction to change

What is considered a reasonable time for the WS1 sensor to react to a change in room temperature (no probe)? 

When testing the WS1 and moving it from one environment to another it appears to take up to 20 minutes to react.

  Hi there,

  Thanks for your report.

  Yes, it usually takes about 30 minutes for the device to react to the change. When the temperature changes, it takes a period of time for the device itself to heat up or cool down. It depends on the material and the volume of the item.  This mechanism seems like we heat up water. Transmission speed of energy varies from different materials. And the case of our Ubibot device is made of ABS, which is a bit slow in this part. So, it will need roughly 30 minutes.
