Temperature sensor

Applications

Temperature is one of the easiest sensor projects to start on and have any uses. Applications may include:

  • monitoring the temperature of a smart bee hive, rabbit hutch, chick coop, aquarium or wetland
  • experimenting with concepts related to energy efficient building construction
  • temperature compensation for other sensors (sensor values may change with changes in temperature)
  • making a weather station
