Review on DFRobot Waterproof DS18B20 Temperature Sensor by Paul Andrews

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect for aquariums and Raspberry Pi Zero W

I bought this to use with Raspberry Pi Zero W. I am using this with a python script to control the aquarium temperature. It took a while to get it working as this is my first time doing something with the gpio header. Getting the wiring right was a bit of a challenge as nothing could tell me what color the wires were (power, neutral, data). After sorting the wires, everything works fine. The thermometer has been working for about two months now. I get both emails and text messages when the tank temperature is out of spec. I still have to clean up the installation, but that's enough for now.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
