Long story short....was in the middle of setting up/cycling my tank and I was called away to work remotely during the week. Don't have the means yet to buy and set up a full Apex system so I bought a Seneye and dropped it into the sump. I can now remotely check my parameters but I'm getting some odd readings.
My tank as present has cured liverock and sand and good water circulation. I dropped some Dr Tim's in it last week and my NH3 is looking good even after a dose of Dr Tim's ammonia solution.

For those familiar with Seneye sensors, you have the direct interface and the web dashboard. So when I look at the direct interface I notice that my temp is reading 2 degrees lower than my other two temp probes. Also my PH levels are way high and seem to be rising. I think I might know why the PH is reading high...I don't think I have it set to Marine in the settings....but why would the PH be rising?
Also, there seems to be a difference in the combined readings in the dashboard than on the interface. Temp on the sensor says 75...dashboard shows 79.8

Anyone have similar experiences?

I don't have experience with seneye but I do know that most temp sensors need to be calibrated. Not sure if that's the issue with temp in your system, but might be.

Also, what do you mean by "ph too high?" what levels are you seeing?

Oh that's too high...

false reading maybe? Without chemical intervention, the tank should absolutely not be getting to an actual 8.7...
