Pool sensor alternative

Post by RdP »

Hi,

I have had several pool sensors from Oregon Scientific (3x THWR288 en 1x THWR800) and all of them broke after using them for 12-18 months due to water leakage. I was hoping the THWR800 was better in that sense, but this one still displays and sends the temperature but it now reads 58,7 degrees Celsius in my office :roll:
I tried te set it to Fahrenheit but than it's also way too high.

So I gave up on using the Oregon Scientific pool sensors and want tot ask the forum if there is an alternative product on 433 Mhz which compatible with the RFXCOM receiver ?

Thanks,
Rien

For the RFXLAN or older RFXCOM receivers:
The RFXSensor with external water tight sensor is an option.

For the RFXtrx433/RFXrec433:
TFA 30.3133 Temperature sensor with external sensor

Hi Bert,

I have the old receivers but which sensors do you mean exactly? Are these still avalable in the RFXCOM store? What is the partnumber?

Thanks,

Hi Bert,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but none off these sensors seem waterproof.
