WiFi thermometer

WIFI THERMOMETER is a versatile device designed not only for temperature measurement but also for reporting and alerting in case temperatures deviate from preset alarm values. With the increasing occurrences of failures in the STC-1000 temperature controller, this device serves as an affordable and reliable addition to monitor overheating and cooling processes. Many users find it particularly useful for alarming against excessive temperatures in wood stoves, while others utilize it as a reminder for various applications, such as monitoring fermentation processes.

The custom-designed PCB board ensures enhanced durability and high-quality performance for the thermometer. It is equipped to send temperature data to various applications, including the SensorSpy app (with a minimum interval of 90 seconds for premium users or 5 minutes), BrewSpy app (minimum interval of 5 minutes), Brewfather Custom Stream device, or Grainfather custom controller for temperature display on the Brewfather or Grainfather app at 15-minute intervals. Additionally, it can transmit data to Blynk IOT at 10-second intervals, MQTT server (Home assistant), or HTTP server (with a minimum interval of 10 seconds). The Management menu allows users to configure the sending interval for different applications.
WiFi thermometer device allows temperature in degrees C or F.

Currently, it is possible to install 2 temperature sensors on 1 device, as well as send the data of the second sensor to: Blynk IOT, MQTT, Brewfather

Please note that the thermometer operates exclusively on 2.4GHz WiFi networks. It conveniently connects to a 5V USB-C mobile phone charger for power, and it requires a WiFi network to transmit data. USB-C cable is not included with the thermometer.

Nautilis thermometer management system

View and edit thermometer settings (no internet required)

To view and change the device settings, first connect to the WiFi network that the device transmits, which is usually: nautilis_Sensor.  The network password comes on the paper with the device. After connecting to the network, some devices automatically open the Internet browser, and some require you to open the Internet browser and go to the address: 192.168.4.1

After that, the Nautilis thermometer managment home page opens where you can view and edit the following settings:

HOME ASSISTANT

Connecting a device to MQTT and integrating it with Home Assistant involves establishing communication between the device and the MQTT broker, and then configuring Home Assistant to automatically recognize and interact with the device. Here’s a simplified description without delving into the YAML configuration file:

Connecting Your Device to MQTT:

  1. Set Up MQTT Broker: Start by configuring an MQTT broker, either locally (e.g., Mosquitto) or using a cloud-based service.
  2. Device Configuration: Ensure your device supports MQTT and configure it to connect to the MQTT broker. Provide the necessary credentials such as the broker’s IP address, port, and authentication details.

Integrating with Home Assistant:

  1. Install MQTT Integration: Within Home Assistant, install the MQTT integration to enable communication with devices using the MQTT protocol.
  2. Auto-Discovery: Utilize Home Assistant’s MQTT Auto-Discovery feature. As the device publishes data to MQTT topics, Home Assistant automatically detects and configures corresponding entities (e.g., sensors, switches).
  3. Device Appears in Home Assistant: After configuration, your device will appear in Home Assistant as entities representing different aspects of the device, such as temperature sensors or switches.
  4. Customization (Optional): Home Assistant allows customization of entity names, icons, and other attributes. Customize the appearance of your device within Home Assistant based on your preferences.

By following these steps, your device seamlessly integrates into your Home Assistant setup. You can monitor its status, receive sensor data, and incorporate it into your home automation routines. The MQTT and Home Assistant combination offers flexibility for customization and control to suit your specific needs.
You can select sending interval of 10s, 60s, 5,15 or 60 minutes.

HTTP

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is a protocol that enables the exchange of data over a network. With the Nautilis termometer or Nautilis iPressure, you can send data using the HTTP protocol to other devices or servers that can process and display the data or use it for another purpose. HTTP allows for fast and easy data exchange and is one of the most commonly used protocols for data exchange on the internet. You must enter your WiFi network data in the Network name and password fields. Watch out for uppercase and lowercase letters!
The HTTP service must be marked and stored on the thermometer. Then a new field appears in the settings: Server Address: Here you enter the link or IP address of the server. Custom Stream URI or token:  Here you enter the custom stream/URI/PATH of the server.
You can select the temperature sending interval of 1, 5,15 or 60 minutes.
Click the SUBMIT button and reboot the device.
