Description of ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Raspberry Pi DS18B20 Temperature Sensor Module Kit: Waterproof Stainless Steel Probe for Accurate Readings

Simplify connecting a waterproof temperature sensor to your project with this adapter module kit. Pull-up resistor included on the adapter module, an external resistor is not required to connect directly to the GPIO of the Raspberry Pi. Waterproof digital temperature sensor DS18B20 on 100cm cable with adapter module. Measure the temperature directly in water or soil. DS18B20 Wiring: Red = VCC, Yellow = Data, Black = GND.

Black Purple Red Blue Yellow Green BINGO! no

black purple red blue yellow green WTF?!? No instructions, no markings. ๐Ÿ˜”I GUESSED THAT CORRECTLY: Black: Ground, Red: V, Yellow: Signal. ๐Ÿ˜

Pros
  • easy to use
Cons
  • don't know anymore

Great device! suitable for temperature and humidity

You still have to look at how to connect and program the device. But once launched, the probe does its job well. I'll definitely buy another one if the need arises.

Pros
  • great for me
Cons
  • everything ok

Very good liquid temperature sensor. Easy to use.

I have already collected samples for my pi with this sensor in the wine cellar to monitor the temperature of the bottles and the temperature and humidity of the environment. It works great and was trivial to set up.

Pros
  • practical article
Cons
  • long shipping

Keeps chickens warm

I used it with a Raspberry Pi to control the temperature in a chicken coop. When it dropped below 70 degrees the relay clicked and turned on my heat lamp. Worked great to make my chicken walk wider.

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Connecting to a Raspberry Pi is a nightmare

I've had this probe since January and finally had time to work on my project. I connected this temperature sensor to RPi and enabled 1-wire but it doesn't work. I did what one of the other reviewers said and still got nothing. I even tried a different pin on the Pi. The only thing I get is device 00-XXXXX and from what I've read it should show device 28-XXXXX.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Communication with seller

Is working. Wires without markings.

As another reviewer noted, the cables are unmarked. There are conventions for wire colors, but they don't always match, and having the wrong component can end up frying your PI if you get it wrong. Please label the cores. I've added a picture to show the correct wire placement. Had it been made that way in the description (it wasn't at the time of writing this post. Hopefully it will be in the future) it would have been 5 stars.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Something different

Fortuneteller for my aquarium!

Interesting, things like ash or heavy rain can change the water waiting in the wings here. "Sensors" have arrived, purchased from the residents of this great rainforest. Does a waist this big change our water in ways we can't imagine but can still predict? Since I value my fish and their health, perhaps more than I do you and yours, readers, I will not test these hypotheses with my own hands. I will bow to an expert's authority. But I will still measure and let the little bird tell me if suchโ€ฆ

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • repair

Fortuneteller for my aquarium!

I wonder if things like ash or heavy rain could change the water that's waiting in the wings. "Sensors" have arrived, bought by those who live in this great rainforest. Does a waist this big change our water in ways we can't imagine but can still predict? Readers, I will not test these hypotheses with my own hands. I will bow to an expert's authority. But I will measure anyway, and the little bird will tell me when such measures will prevent.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful

Why 6 different colors and no instructions?

I had to go through reviews to figure out the correct wiring as it came with no instructions. For those looking to connect to a Raspberry Pi - google the rest, but here's part of it. The latest version of Raspbian (Kernel 3.18) must be added to your /boot/config.txt file in order for the Pi to communicate with the DS18B20. To edit this file, run: $ sudo nano /boot/config.txt If the following line isn't already in this file (if it is, then most likely at the end of the file), add it and save the

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Crumpled

Works well! [WHAT: Only worked for a few hours.]

UPDATED: I'm giving this one 4 stars. The replacement came on Thursday. Installing it into my Raspberry Pi was even easier this time since the probe's wires were already tinned. It is now Saturday and my aquarium has been reporting correctly for about 3 days. I think I'm ready to call it a winner. Also, bonus points for Low Voltage Labs for contacting me based on my previous review, apologizing that the first device didn't work and asking me to let them know. if the replacement did not helpโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No automatic
