Crofter Posted October 8, 2024 Share Posted October 8, 2024 Looking for a recommendation for a cheap, simple thermometer so that I can check the temperature of my house when I'm not there. The ones I'm looking up seem to want to link with Alexa etc, I just want a basic standalone unit. I don't specifically need any kind of history or data logging function, but I guess it would be nice. Bonus points for one that doesn't need to run off batteries, and/or it has a probe that I can tape on to the outlet of my UVC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshian Posted October 8, 2024 Share Posted October 8, 2024 I use sonoff (TH100 from memory) - mains powered - can do temp and humdity with one type of sensor or just temp with another type power consumption is very low can use an app on my phone to see temps/humidity from anywhere over wifi or 4G Logs data hourly and keeps up to 12 mths data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted October 8, 2024 Share Posted October 8, 2024 If you feel ‘advanced’ you could go down the home assistant route . I avoid where possible battery sensors - though the current zigbee ones seem to be lasting over a year . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp Posted December 28, 2024 Share Posted December 28, 2024 I've used one of these T201 for a few years but it's GSM so needs a pay as you go SIM. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126282422240 You can set alarm thresholds or interrogate it to ask the temperature. Has outputs so you can connect to heating system or fan heater (I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyt Posted December 30, 2024 Share Posted December 30, 2024 (edited) The link I posted gives me the following page. I took delivery of mine today and work fine. It’s linked to my WiFi. Edited December 30, 2024 by Johnnyt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
