“I purchased the Temp-1 temperature sensor, the long probe and a USB cable.
Hoping it would help to understand more about Home Assistant and
the hot water system in my house.
Both aims were achieved. Although it did take a bit of time.
The initial setup worked but I did not know it. That may sound strange,
but I am new to the inner workings of networks.
Once I opened HA , then Devices & Services it was there.
Searching around HA I could see that the entity I needed was in the ESP home integration, then Temperature Probe.
I have looked at the difference between heating my hot water tank using the electric immersion heater,
supported solar panels and now it is a bit duller, by the gas boiler.
The results, as always depends on the household.
But Temp-1 is great
Thank you
PS I did have a problem, it went off line, I pressed the reset button and all seems to be OK now.”
“Nice little units. I got the Battery Version. There is an inbuilt board temperature and humidity sensor, but its not suitable for getting accurate readings as it measuring its own temperature and not the ambient air temperature, so in my opinion its not worth using these. Going to order up the temperature probe that Apollo sell, and see how accurate the probe is. It would be good if Apollo did a 5cm probe, and supply it with the unit. Then it would get 5 stars”
