Or if someone have that module can paste sh env temp output ?

I have few with outlet temperature around 50C which looks me too high...

The working temperature is very dependant of the surrounding conditions, available air mass, air flow speeds and so on.

As th maximum enviroment temperature is set at 40C 50C is a very normal operating temperature.

I should start to worry if the enviroment temerature is mutch cooler than 40C as that would indicate that you do not have enough airflow through the chasis.

50c temperature can be fine for a good conditioned room but can be to high for an unconditioned room when outside temperatures are relatively low.

Most switches witch support temperature reading will send traps or even shut down if operating temperature gets exceeded.
