Oleg Tarasov has tested six temperature sensors for use in a thermostat project.
A crucial step towards my goal of individual room temperature control is to be able to measure current room temperature with precision and minimum amount of lag.
Important note: all of my sensors were sourced from China, and most of them from AliExpress. I did not get my sensors from official distributors, so there is a real possibility that all sensors I tested were unreliable knock-offs.
I thought that I’ll just slap together a couple of random sensors, write some code and be done with my per-room thermostats project. Instead, I’m doing this on and off for almost half a year and get a occasional raised eyebrow from my wife while dipping weird-looking stuff in ice water
But it’s actually fun and I learn a lot of stuff in the process, and isn’t it this the true goal?
See the testing process in the post here.
