Truly Waterproof
Submerged the probe in a water tank for a week to test it. No corrosion or signal loss detected.

Great Value for Money
Bought the 3-meter cable version. Signal strength remains strong even at full length. Recommended.

Good Quality Probe
The stainless steel feels very durable. The cable is a bit stiff but manageable for most installations.
Q: Can I connect multiple sensors to one GPIO pin?
A: Yes, the 1-Wire protocol allows you to connect multiple sensors on the same data bus using unique addresses.
Q: Does this sensor require a pull-up resistor?
A: Yes, we recommend using a 4.7k ohm resistor between the data line and VCC for stable communication.
Q: Which library do you recommend for Arduino?
A: The OneWire library combined with the DallasTemperature library by Miles Burton is the standard choice.
Q: Is it compatible with 3.3V logic levels?
A: Yes, the DS18B20 operates between 3.0V and 5.5V, so it works safely with 3.3V microcontrollers.
Q: Is the entire cable waterproof or just the probe?
A: Only the stainless steel probe head is waterproof (IP68). The cable junction and wires should not be submerged.
