For the most accurate temperature readings, it is designed to be used with one of the optional probes. The onboard AHT20-F sensor may be affected by heat from the ESP, but using sleep settings helps ensure accurate temperature and humidity measurements.
 
The TEMP-1 Temperature Sensor is designed for seamless integration with ESPHome and Home Assistant via WiFi.

It is available in two versions:

• A USB-C powered model for continuous operation.

• A battery-powered model for flexible placement, using a rechargeable RC-CR123A or 16340 battery (not included). This version enables cable-free operation, making it ideal for locations without constant power.

The TEMP-1 delivers accurate and reliable temperature readings with multiple probe options. Built-in WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity ensure easy smart home integration and automation. An onboard RGB LED and buzzer provide real-time alerts, while the AHT20-F sensor measures ambient air temperature alongside probe readings.

A 3.5mm jack supports two optional temperature probes or a food safe probe (sold separately), allowing customization for specific monitoring needs. Its compact and durable design ensures seamless integration into any environment while maintaining high performance. 2 probes are flat cable submersible probes and 1 probe is a food safe stainless steel non dishwasher safe.

USE CASES

Food Safety Monitoring

• Fridge/Freezer Monitoring: Ensure your fridge or freezer maintains safe temperatures for food storage. The flat cable probe can fit through seals without interfering with the door closure.
• Cooking and Baking: Use the food-safe stainless steel probe to monitor grilling, roasting, or baking temperatures in real-time.

Aquatic Environments

• Fish Tank Monitoring: Keep a close eye on aquarium water temperatures with the waterproof probe to maintain a stable and healthy environment for aquatic life.
• Pool and Hot Tub Monitoring: Track water temperatures in pools or hot tubs (with waterproof housing) for safety and comfort.

Home and Building Automation

• Attic Fan Control: Automate attic fans to turn on when temperatures rise above a set threshold, improving ventilation and energy efficiency.
• HVAC System Monitoring: Monitor ambient temperature to optimize your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system's performance.

Outdoor and Remote Applications

• Greenhouse Temperature Management: Maintain the perfect growing environment for plants in a greenhouse, even in remote areas, using the battery-powered version.
• Remote Monitoring: Monitor temperature in locations without constant power, such as sheds, barns, or outdoor storage units.

General Environmental Monitoring

• Room Temperature Tracking: Use the onboard AHT sensor to monitor indoor environments for comfort and energy efficiency.
• Cold Storage Units: Monitor temperature in commercial or residential cold storage units to ensure proper operation.

Safety Alerts

• • Overheat Detection: Use the buzzer or Home Assistant integration to trigger alerts when temperatures exceed safe levels in critical areas like server rooms or electronics enclosures.
