   After a reasonable long test I concluded that the temperature sensor isn't busted. Somehow the pin I used on the arduino freaked out after a while. Using a different one solved the problem. That's what happens when you use Chinese clones.

      @adiwan Wait, you are using a Chinese arduino clone, or a temperature sensor thingie from China ?

         @critialcloudkicker Both are from China. Only the original Arduino/Genuino come from Italy. It was more a sarcastic remark. I can't really complain about a micro controller that costs only 5 bucks.

            @adiwan Any idea why it broke ? Was it trying to vibrate at the temperature frequency or something ?

               @critialcloudkicker I don't know. Maybe the pin couldn't turn on and off at the right frequency to read out the temperature sensor. The sensor has very tight timings, in micro seconds range.

                  @adiwan Oh, I was thinking about loose connections... Can you attach it to the GPIO headers and do a proper readout of what you are actually dealing with ? On the off chance that the update-flags are just off or irregular ?
                  
                  Then again at 5 bucks range... ... ... decisions are hard, curiosity is also a big factor here.
