Introduction: Differential Thermostat With DS18B20 Wemos D1 Mini for Solar Panels

U can see the test with this usefull tool

Supplies

u need:

2pcs DS18b20 digital temp sensors, for air or liquids

Wemos d1mini v1-v4

1led

4.7k resistor

220 resistor

test pcb

Step 1: Why?

I used this old and reliable controler from almost 20 years, and solar panel sensor, analog , its not working well anymore.

That's why I decided to make this version, with digital sensors, alarms, and web page to read the temp, even remote.

Step 2: Schematic

we have 2 ds put in paralel, on D7 input

3.3v supply voltage

4.7k resistor pull up data to Vcc

output signal to the pump, and monitor led with limiting resistor

Step 3: Software

the software is very simple, I've explained in the video, and u can read temp in serial monitor


Step 4: Advanced Version

I made advanced version of this v1 thermostat, with a lot of new features:

-buzzer for audible alarm

-transistor for the relay

web page to monitor the temp

design for pcb

and beacuse the software of v2 was expensive, I decided to recover a part of money through paid subscripsions on my YT channel for the 1 year.

but v1 is working and is very useful.
