    Hi,

    I was just wondering if anyone has any recommendation for a wireless temperature gauge?

    I’d like to be able to monitor my thermal store temp while not at home; and ideally monitor and record what’s it’s doing over a period.

    I have a vacant gauge opening on the tank to place a temp probe in.

    Any info would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    Ben

    Thanks Tony. Not really sure where to start with that. I was think a more off the shelf solution.

    If you could expand a bit further, it would be highly appreciated

    I'm not sure there is a fully off the shelf system.

    This probably does what you want, but I don't know how long it stores the data for.

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Inkbird-Wireless-Bluetooth-Hygrometer-Thermometer/dp/B07DRC4M88/

    If you ever get into HomeAssistant, I think you will be able to pull the data in via bluetooth.

    There is also an esphome component. https://esphome.io/components/sensor/inkbird_ibsth1_mini.html

    Thanks borpin. Looks like you can connect it to a wifi hub too. Cheers

    The system I run at home needs a lot of DIY input, OTOH it is modular, flexible and consumes very little energy.
    It is a collection of 'nodes', each having a sensor of some sort, sending their data to a central unit which records it to SD card and puts the values on a display. The nodes and receiving unit are all Arduino/JeeNode based.
    I record hot water tank temperatures, 3x room temperature & humidity, CO2 levels and hope to expand soon with outdoors temperature & humidity and UFH/screed temperatures. The system 'just works' and has collected data over 4-5 years now.
    Posting the full details on here is probably a bit much. Let me know if you are interested and I'll be happy to help.
