Looking for water temperature sensor

[muchgooder.com]

I am hoping to find a water temperature sensor for my pool. Is there something like this available? I had made one using a raspberry pi a few years ago but it stopped working and I don't want to mess with it again.

I would recommend using the ecowitt gateway along with an ecowitt pool sensor. There are two fully-local Hubitat integrations for ecowitt sensors from @sburke781 and @snell

[RE-RELEASE] EcoWitt and Wittboy Weather Stations And Sensors (Local)

If you are considering venturing into weather sensors and including them in your home automation setup, EcoWitt offer a range of relatively inexpensive weather sensors that can be integrated into Hubitat using a local data feed (no Internet needed). Thanks: This is the re-release of the excellent EcoWitt Gateway and Sensor drivers developed Mirco, a previous member of the HE Community. Beyond my own support of these drivers, you will also find and incredibly helpful sub-group of the HE Commun…

[PROJECT] Driver for Ambient API/Local and Ecowitt

This is a set of drivers originally designed to support polling the Ambient Weather API. It was started back in July of 2019 but has seen quite a bit of change over time. The driver also supports the Ambient Local method AND Ecowitt protocol (such as for the GW1xxx devices). The three main methods are: Ambient API: Allows you to connect to the Ambient Weather API using an API Key you obtain from Ambient as well as the MAC address of your Ambient Weather station. From there it will poll the AP…

Thanks so much for that! It looks like it is exactly what I am looking for.

Just bear in mind that you will need an ecowitt WiFi console, or either of their WiFi gateways (GW1100 or GW2000) to use it with Hubitat. I linked to the GW1100, which is their cheapest WiFi gateway.

I'm using 2 of these (hot tub & river). River unit is 250 feet from the gateway, so range is impressive.

Thanks for the response. Does the WN34L work with hubitat? I need to be able to access the data programmatically.

[sburke781]

This sensor works with the EcoWitt gateway devices, so yes, you will be able to access the data in HE for use in automations, and, if you want, via Maker API for external systems to HE.

Does the WN34L work with hubitat?

Yes. Any sensor that pairs with the ecowitt gateway will be exposed to Hubitat to use programmatically, as long as you use one of the two integrations indicated above.
