For the most accurate temperature readings, it is designed to be used with one of the optional probes. The onboard AHT20-F sensor may be affected by heat from the ESP, but using sleep settings helps ensure accurate temperature and humidity measurements.
 
The TEMP-1 Temperature Sensor is designed for seamless integration with ESPHome and Home Assistant via WiFi.

It is available in two versions:

• A USB-C powered model for continuous operation.

• A battery-powered model for flexible placement, using a rechargeable RC-CR123A or 16340 battery (not included). This version enables cable-free operation, making it ideal for locations without constant power.

The TEMP-1 delivers accurate and reliable temperature readings with multiple probe options. Built-in WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity ensure easy smart home integration and automation. An onboard RGB LED and buzzer provide real-time alerts, while the AHT20-F sensor measures ambient air temperature alongside probe readings.

A 3.5mm jack supports two optional temperature probes or a food safe probe (sold separately), allowing customization for specific monitoring needs. Its compact and durable design ensures seamless integration into any environment while maintaining high performance. 2 probes are flat cable submersible probes and 1 probe is a food safe stainless steel non dishwasher safe.

As part of Apollo Automation’s commitment to open-source innovation, the TEMP-1 is built for maximum flexibility and reliability. Whether you choose the USB-C or battery-powered model, it offers a powerful combination of functionality, privacy, and precision for all your temperature monitoring needs.

Great little device

Ordered three of these to monitor temps in my basement fridge/freezers. Easy setup, imported and configured in Home Assistant… exactly what I was looking for!

Perfect temperature sensor

Great little sensors for easy use in my home. Have one in my bedrom and one in my office/homelab area. After the temperature offset was set they've been pretty accurate. Looking forward to adding new Apollo sensors to my home in the future.

Solid Device

Super easy to get going with ESPHome and HomeAssistant. The controllable rgb lights are useful for automating a warning in case my fridge ever goes above a safe temp for too long.

Hi Matthew,

Glad to hear the TEMP 1 was easy to set up and that the RGB lights are helping with your fridge monitoring. We appreciate your feedback. Is there anything we can do to improve the experience?

Thanks again for your support!
