Introduction: Remote Temperature Monitor With Alarm

About: Love DIY, embedded, home automation, HMI, robotic.

Many people need to monitor the temperature in a remote place like warehouse or greenhouse in case that they can make sure their property is safe in real time. I managed to find a perfact and inexpensive sollution to help them. Now, I build a low cost remote temperature monitor with an alarm alarm and a temperature sensor.

The principle of the project is I use a WiFi enabled smart switch Sonoff TH to connect a temperature sensore and then place them in my target place like warehouse or greenhouse to measure the temperature in real time, and also I use another smart switch Sonoff WIFI Wireless Smart Switch to connect an alarm and place them in my home or office. When the temperature in my target place is higher or lower than the value I set up, the alarm will ring and alert me even if I'm at home or office, even I'm outside.

Step 1: Install Sonoff TH in Your Target Place

Make sure what's your target place. It means the place you want to measure the temperature.

Plug Sonoff temperature Sensor AM2301 into the side hole of Sonoff TH.

Connect a power plug with Sonoff TH.

Place them in your target place and power up Sonoff TH. Note that if you want to measure the temperaure in a room, you'd better expose the Sonoff temperature sensor in the air of the room. Don't let it near a heat or cool source.

Here are just a few of the gadgets you'll need:

Sonoff TH,

Sonoff temperature Sensor AM2301,

A power plug,

A screw driver,

Step 2: Install the Temperature Alarm at Home

Decide where you'll install the temperature alarm. If you spend most of your time at home or office, you can install this smart temperature alarm at your home or office. In this way, you don't need to always stay the target place for worry about the dangerous temperature in your target place. This alarm will alert you in real time. Even if you're outside, you can also still know the temperature in real time by viewing the temperature on your phone.
