Water Temperature Sensor

Forum rules

Questions about hardware that can be controlled by Indigo (but not through the interfaces and plugins listed). If Indigo doesn't support some bit of hardware you're interested in, and you don't find a 3rd Party Plugin for it, add it to this forum. Be sure to include links to as much information as you can find about it.

Note: adding it here does not mean we're going to add it - in fact it's possible one of our 3rd party developers may decide to write a plugin for it. We add hardware/features based on a lot of different factors beyond just having a request for it.

Water Temperature Sensor

Not sure where to post this. What are the chances of getting this:

Re: Water Temperature Sensor

No idea how you might go about getting that to work. Maybe someone else has an idea?

Re: Water Temperature Sensor

The MIMOlite has an analog voltage input (0 to 24V). But the link you have above doesn't have any specs that I see, so I'm not sure if that will work or not.

Re: Water Temperature Sensor

Look into the esp8266 esp-01 with a ds18b20 probe and moisture sensor. Send data back to thingspeak via WiFi.
It's soy, cost under 20 bucks to make.

Re: Water Temperature Sensor

You'll want a DS18B20 that's made for moisture. A bare chip will absorb moisture and become inaccurate. I found some on Amazon at 5 for under $15US.
