Great for learning

Bought this for a university robotics course. It was easy to interface with Arduino. The only downside is that the wiring diagram could be clearer for beginners, but online forums helped.

Fast response time

The sub-500ms response time is exactly what I needed for logging rapid temperature changes. The data stream is stable and hasn't dropped a single packet in weeks of testing.

Ideal for plant monitoring

Using this to monitor leaf temperatures in my smart greenhouse. Since it's non-contact, I don't risk damaging the plants. The range is more than sufficient for indoor agricultural use.

Perfect for my home automation project

This sensor integrates seamlessly with my ESP32 setup. The readings are consistent and the I2C library provided in the documentation made coding a breeze. Highly recommended for DIY enthusiasts.

Compact and reliable

I love how small this module is. It fits perfectly inside my custom 3D printed enclosure. The non-contact feature is essential for measuring moving parts on my 3D printer without interference.

Good accuracy, needs calibration

Out of the box, it was slightly off by about 1 degree, but after adjusting the emissivity settings for my specific surface material, it became very accurate. Great value for the price.

5 FAQ

Q: What is the maximum distance for accurate measurement?

A: With a 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio, at a distance of 12 inches, the sensor measures a spot approximately 1 inch in diameter. Accuracy depends on ensuring the target object fully fills the spot size.

Q: Is there a Python library available for Raspberry Pi?

A: Yes, we provide a Python library compatible with Raspberry Pi OS. You can find the installation instructions and example scripts in the 'Resources' tab on our product page.

Q: Can I use this outdoors in the rain?

A: This module is not water-resistant or waterproof. If used outdoors, it must be housed in a protective enclosure with a window transparent to infrared radiation (like polyethylene).

Q: Can this sensor measure the temperature of liquids?

A: Yes, it can measure liquid temperatures provided the liquid has a stable surface and the emissivity is adjusted accordingly. Please note that steam or heavy vapor may interfere with accuracy.

Q: Does this come with a mounting bracket?

A: The module includes four standard mounting holes (2mm diameter) for screws, but a specific metal bracket is not included in the package. You can easily 3D print one or use standoffs.
