How does spikes removal work?

I have a sensor that is powershell script that returns temperature by parsing web page of some meteostation on a public internet.

It sometimes returns a bad high value like "0" or "255" and all other values in the last days are from -17 to -4

So do enter spike filtering with maximum -4 and minimum 20 and wait. It never filters out the spikes, they are still there and the system has hardly 20 sensors (at 1 minute intervals) on i7 machine, so it cant take long to process them.

Using Spike Filters

You can add spike filters in a sensor's channel settings. Each filter is valid for the selected channel only. Spike filters are active immediately after saving. They are applied to historic and live data in both tables and graphs.

Enter a number into the Spike Filter Max. Value. Values above this value will be disregarded.

Enter a number into the Spike Filter Min. Value field. Values below this value will be disregarded.

As you're using negative values, please try to exchange the two numbers.
