MySensors.org LoRa IOT for Farming, Part 3 Temperature and Humidity Sensors

I’ve setup a number different types of temperature and temperature/humidity sensors. The types that I’ve used are Ds18B20 temperature sensors and DHT11 temperature/humidity sensors. Ds18B20 The Ds18B20 temperature sensor, comes in 2 packages, a TO-92 and a waterproof probe. The TO-92 is useful for making room temperature sensors but the probe is better suited to […]

In previous posts I used mostly off the shelf IOT devices from Tuya, Sonoff and Shelly, these are great becasue they are cheap and easily integrated into many projects. The issue though when you want sensors for custom applications is there are not many cheap off the shelf options. Thankfully there are a few well […]
