97:1 on Viessmann Vitodens 300-W

Your boiler is receiving the outside temperature reading from a separate networking component rather than its own dedicated sensor.

Monitor it

This is a minor fault. Keep an eye on it and mention it at your next annual boiler service. Reset the boiler and see if it clears.

Technical description

Outside temperature is adopted by the LON BUS

What causes this fault?

This occurs because your boiler has detected that it is receiving outdoor temperature data from another device on your home network rather than from its own dedicated sensor. It typically happens when the boiler is linked to a wider building management system or a smart home network that takes over the job of telling the boiler how cold it is outside. This isn't a mechanical breakdown, but rather a change in how the boiler's computer is communicating with other parts of your home.
