An approved temperature sensor is defined and must be on the Secretary's list
What the document says“The term ``approved temperature sensor'' means an internet capable temperature reporting device able to measure ambient air temperature to the tenth degree Fahrenheit and Celsius selected from a list of such devices approved in advance by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.”
The section defines an approved temperature sensor as an internet capable device that reports ambient air temperature to a tenth of a degree in Fahrenheit and Celsius and comes from a list the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development has approved in advance.
What the document actually says“The term ``approved temperature sensor'' means an internet capable temperature reporting device able to measure ambient air temperature to the tenth degree Fahrenheit and Celsius selected from a list of such devices approved in advance by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.”
The device must connect to the internet. It must read the air to a tenth of a degree. It must come from a list the housing agency has already approved.
A definition sets the reach of a rule. A device that fails any part of this test does not count. The list is drawn up before the grants go out.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
