Good value but cable is stiff
The sensor itself is accurate and easy to code for. My only complaint is that the cable is a bit stiff, making it slightly difficult to route in tight spaces. Otherwise, great product.

Reliable industrial grade feel
I bought five of these for a hydroponic system. They have been submerged for three months without any issues. The stainless steel probe feels very durable.

Easy to integrate
Plug and play with Raspberry Pi. The 1-wire protocol makes wiring simple since you can daisy-chain multiple sensors on a single data pin. Very happy with this purchase.

Perfect for my aquarium project
This sensor works flawlessly with my Arduino setup. The waterproofing is solid, and the temperature readings are consistent with my glass thermometer. Highly recommended for DIY projects.

Accurate and fast
Response time is quick when moved between different water temperatures. I verified the accuracy against a calibrated lab thermometer and it was within 0.2 degrees. Lost one star because the connector wasn't included.

Best DS18B20 I've found
I have tried several brands of waterproof DS18B20 sensors, and this one has the best build quality. The seal on the probe looks very professional and robust.
Q: Can this sensor be used in saltwater aquariums?
A: Yes, the stainless steel 304 probe is resistant to corrosion and suitable for saltwater environments, provided the cable connections remain dry.
Q: Can I use this with a 3.3V microcontroller?
A: Yes, the sensor operates within a voltage range of 3.0V to 5.5V, making it fully compatible with 3.3V systems like many ESP32 or Raspberry Pi models.
Q: Is the output analog or digital?
A: The DS18B20 outputs a digital signal via the 1-Wire protocol, so no analog-to-digital converter is needed.
Q: Does this come with a pull-up resistor?
A: No, the sensor does not include an external pull-up resistor. You will need to add a 4.7kΩ resistor between the data line and VCC in your circuit.
Q: What is the maximum cable length extension possible?
A: While the standard cable is 1 meter, users often successfully extend the data lines up to 10-20 meters using shielded twisted pair cable, though signal integrity may vary based on environment.
