I found a fake sensor like that once.... was wondering why my code done by datasheet didn't worked on cheapo breakout board I bought off aliexpress.

Then I read ID register and they used older chip that had some of the stuff set up differently...

Same, I bought a couple waterproof temperature probes under the name of a reputable manufacturer and wound up getting what turns out to be notorious knock offs. It was way harder to set up and the actual sensors measured within several degrees C of each other, haha. I'm a lot more careful of where I order components from, now.
