Temperature compensation system for an electronic device

An electronic assembly configured to increase a sensed temperature estimation accuracy, comprising:

• a housing;
• a printed wiring assembly at least partially enclosed by the housing, wherein the printed wiring assembly includes a processor and memory;
• a temperature sensor in communication with the printed wiring assembly for sensing a temperature;
• a display in communication with the printed wiring assembly, the display configured to display a compensated sensed temperature;
• wherein the printed wiring assembly calculates the compensated sensed temperature by:
• compensating the sensed temperature with a first temperature compensation model;
• compensating the sensed temperature with a second temperature compensation model;
• and
• transitioning from compensating the sensed temperature with the first temperature compensation model to compensating the sensed temperature with the second temperature compensation model over time and independent of the sensed temperature.

A method of compensating a temperature reading of a thermostat, wherein the thermostat has a housing and one or more temperature sensors for sensing a temperature within the housing, the method comprising:

• sensing a temperature using the one or more temperature sensors of the thermostat;
• compensating the sensed temperature with a plurality of temperature compensation models;
• and
• transitioning through two or more of the plurality of temperature compensation models over a predetermined period of time and independent of the sensed temperature.
