Usually this is a bad connection or some interference from something else.

If all that checks out, it could be a failing probe but connection problems are more likely.

I had strange intermittent issues like this, really showed up when I got my ph probe, turned out to be the power supply to my LED lights throwing major EMF interference. Got new power supplies and have not had an errant reading since.

This is interesting although its been up and running for about 5 months now and i havnt touched it. Frustrating. Here is an updated screen shot. My ph probe needs calibrated btw.

Well it has started doing it again out of nowhere. Been working great all day until now. Grrr only thing left to do is redo every connection

Its been running for months now. The occasional power outage. And no nothing has changed. I havnt touched anything. I am curious if it happens again tonight. I only got the errors for about 30 minutes last night. I work second shift now so both times it has happened ive been at work.

What specific sensors are you using? I had a huge issue with sensors off of various amazon retailers and found rust inside of the casing. Powder coated ones from sparkfun are a few dollars more but havn't had the random error issues 3-4 months after use that I was having. I would suggest a new sensor if it is just randomly starting to fail.
