Freezer Temperature Monitoring via Z-Wave and Thermocouple

Other Devices & Integrations Climate Control & Temperature Sensors

I see http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,10461.0.html but the only device there bottoms out at -4F.

I’m seeking a Z-Wave device for use with a Vera Edge, which can monitor freezers down to -30F or so.
Is there such a device on the market? I prefer a device where the electronics are outside the refrigeration compartment.

I too am looking for something like this. Seems odd that there isn’t a z-wave compatible thermocouple, short of the one mentioned that is in the $200 range. In my case, the ‘freezer’ is the great outdoors, looking for an outdoor sensor. But a refrigerator/freezer application would work for me too. Any idea how complicated it would be to adapt a typical indoor/outdoor digital thermometer to z-wave?

The mentioned X-300 is not a Z-Wave device, and has no direct Vera support.

How about a fibaro universal sensor with Dallas DS18B20 sensor attached can read to -55C

Hello, there is a device that is a beauty, it is a 6 channel device that has it’s own web server and it is made by sensaphone. I have used ot for many years and it sends out emails depending your presets. Each zone can be configured to a dry contact, a thermometer, or a 4-20 ma device. This is it:

I also know that is is modbus friendly used to export info out.

A plug if for Vera would be something very nice, as it opens the world to all whole new range of affordable analog and digital sensors. Information that can all be used in Vera for automation.

I’m even willing to part fund the development of this, so, If there are programmers willing to look at this, let me know. Attached a screen shot of the web 600 we use to monitor an IQF spiral freezer at our facility.

Thank you,

It’s not zwave but I use a raspberry pi with a Dallas DS18B20 sensor and a virtual temperature sensor I created on the vera side to do basically this. I set up a scene on vera to periodically poll the pi and update the virtual sensor with the reading. The up side to doing it that way is you’re not locked into just one physical probe, mine has two but I think the theoretical limit is in the hundreds so if you want to expand later it’s an option - i’ve expanded mine to two sensors and I have plans for a third

The Z-Wave Qubino Flush Thermostat operate on temperature ranges between -50C and +125C. You can have the Qubino device outside of the freezer and the probe inside the freezer.
