Question
Greenhippo 3
Hello folks,
Does anyone use the flood sensor as a water temperature sensor, installed (floating freely) in some kind of water tank? Is it possible?
From reading the specification, it seems that the device floats in water, is fully waterproof, is fully resistant to corrosion and measures temperature through probes on the bottom/underside of the device, which would therefore measure the water temperature below, not the air temperature above.
Has anyone used a flood sensor to monitor the temperature of (just some examples) a hot water tank, bathtub, swimming pool, jacuzzi, spa, garden pond, the local river (joke)?
Is the temperature reading affected by sunlight on the upper surface of the device? Could it be attached in a submerged position on the wall of a water tank?
Thanks for your thoughts...
