Feature Request: Allow high flow NEXT "power" sensor to use alternate sensor source for temp like a temp sensor

Allow high flow NEXT "power" sensor to use alternate sensor source for temp like a temp sensor connected to a OCTO. I already have a sensor on the OCTO attached to outside the case to get ambient temperature of the room the computer is in.

This is not possible, this is only working with the external connected sennsor.

If you are using a room ambient temperature sensor as the input to the High Flow NEXT's external sensor, your results will be astronomically wrong.
The external input should be a coolant sensor at the OUT port of the radiator, and the High Flow NEXT should be just head of the IN for the radiator.
This will give an estimate of the power dissipated by the radiator.

Thanks. :) Figured that out after posting this. Miss interpreted "external sensor" as external to the case or room ambient.

I'll get a proper sensor ordered from aquacomputer.

What about when you have an OCTO and a high flow NEXT together and already have a water temp sensor connected to the OCTO? Can't move the sensor to the high flow NEXT since the plug sizes are different.

Correct, currently THESE are your only options for the High Flow NEXT's 'external' temperature sensor port.
