+## Temperature and humidity offset correction (Optional)
+
+Some sensors have a small deviation with temperature and humidity readings.
+The compensate is possible with a correction offset defined by set_temp_offset() and set_rhum_offset().
+The result will be reading + offset. Default offset values are O.
+
+Example:
+```c++
+set_temp_offset(-0.6);
+set_rhum_offset(2);
+```
