Slower than expected
It works, but the response time is slower than bare sensors due to the steel casing.

Good sensor, stiff cable
Accuracy seems spot on compared to my lab thermometer. The cable is a bit stiff though.

Durable and reliable
Been using this outdoors for months. No corrosion on the steel probe.
5 FAQ
Q: Is the steel probe food grade safe?
A: The 304 stainless steel is generally food safe, but we recommend sealing connections for direct food contact.
Q: Do I need a pull-up resistor?
A: Yes, a 4.7k ohm pull-up resistor between VCC and Data line is required for proper operation.
Q: Can this be fully submerged?
A: Yes, the probe head is IP68 rated for full submersion, but avoid submerging the cable junction.
Q: What is the maximum cable extension length?
A: We recommend keeping extensions under 50 meters for reliable 1-Wire communication.
Q: Does this work with Raspberry Pi?
A: Yes, it is compatible with Raspberry Pi GPIO using a 4.7k pull-up resistor.
