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 for Freezer and Refrigerator

I just started using Home Assistant after years of Alexa and Apple Home. I bought one of these sensors and like it so well I've now bought another one. Very easy to setup even for a Newbie like me. Great product at a great price point.
