ESP32 vs ESP8266 Temp Resolution Issue

Hey There,

I’ve got two SHT30 temp sensors in the same room currently, to try to calibrate them together. I’ve noticed that my ESP32 based sensor has superior update resolution, compared to the ESP8266. Their esphome configs are identical outside of using the different ESPs. They are set to update every 30s, but for the 8266, the reports show many minutes in between updated readings.

Is there a way to get similar update performance outside of changing the ESP? Is this expected behavior?
Thanks!

For future reference, I solved this by adding ‘accuracy_decimals: 2’. Home assisstant won’t show updated timestamps when the reported values remain the same as previous. This change improved the the displayed resolution:
