Initally unhappy as order did not have the resistor. After contacting support ressistor was sent and received next day. Very good response, but for that it would have been a 5 star excellent review.

Work really well. Seems to be accurate. Was able to get connected and functioning without any headache.

Good little temperature probe, seems accurate enough for my needs. A bit more information would have been useful but this can be found online. Be aware 85C is used as a fault code, this might affect certain setups if you aren't aware that it could be a faulty probe or it could be a genuine reading.

I was browsing for a PT100 sensor module to use for controlling a cold chamber operating between 0 and 2 degrees C and saw this. Given the low cost I thought I'd give it a try as a possible alternative. It was straightforward to wire up and read using an Arduino nano and the recommended library. The nano was programmed using the Arduino IDE v. 1.8.13 running on an Ubuntu 22.04 machine. I tested the sensor in an equilibrated ice/water slurry which gave a reading of 0.0-0.1 degrees C using a calibrated reference thermometer. This sensor read between 0.2 and 0.4 C. That's pretty good for such a low cost device, so 5* from me at least in this temperature range.

Used with Picomite basic, software interfaces easily with it. Just needed another for my hot tub simulator.

Well made with a good lead length and the required 4k7 ohm resistor needed for the Pi. The only issue is the lack of documentation with them and no information on the page as to what wires are, looking elsewhere on the PiHut page the wires are RED = Vcc, White = Ground and Yellow Dq = Data
