Awesome video…. I followed your instructions and they worked perfectly…. Only one small comment… in smartthings … the tile shows humidity %… but I’m more interested in the temperature…. Can this be changed?
@@hometechUK I figured out a way from some smartthings forums. Change the type to a smart sense temp humidity sensor. The tile now defaults as temp. I'm really shocked at the power from that little sensor. The freezer is in my attic and the hub is in my basement with very few jumpoints in between and it still picks it up great.
If too far or problems with not working or dying quickly. Try yolink. Different frequency. Goes really far. Only one that really works for me. The freezer alert. Ended up with other yolink devices like outdoor motion sensors for same reason.
Does this device handler code allow you to use this sensor without having to get the hub and still be able to remotely view temp when your phone isnt in range of the sensor?
I've never been able to get these to work with Smartthings. I created and added a device handler and sometimes it will add the device but it never gets readings. I've tried 3 of them.
not suitable for this job,always false battery readings ,freezer temps kills sensor at 3-4 months.Its not a sensor you can trust for freezers.They r ok for fridges at 4 to 0 degrees
I set one of these up for my Freezer, running at -22 degC. The battery was dead in 6 weeks. I replaced with a BR2032 (extended temperature range) but the device won't come up. I phone Aqara support and they say it has probably suffered from frost damage. The tech said they had issues with some of these being used outside when the temperature as at -5 degC or below. Recommendation for a freezer is to use a remote probe. These Aqara units are not suitable for a Freezer.
