Thermometer attachment for mobile phone?
I would like to be able to measure the ambient temperature without
carrying a bulky device. Favourite option would be an attachment to a mobile phone. Why? Well, because..... So far I have found this: https://shop.thermodo.com/ which looks the business but is not widely available. Around £28.09 in the UK via eBay. Does anyone of a similar product? Plugging a sensor into the earphone socket seems a logical design.

I'm assuming it could read something when not attached to a baby. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thermometer.../dp/B079R9FFG2 -- Adrian C |

What would you want real time data on a phone as it was being carried? You cannot measure ambient temperature with a phone mounted device, or indeed any transportable device unless you mount it on top of your head, over a very well insulated "hat". Temperature data loggers are very cheap, I bought quite a few that do temperature and humidity from Ebay, they have better than the claimed accuracy on temperatue and for a pound or two extra, a version with a pt 100 and a metre of cable is available. The thing has an inbuilt sensor and the pt 100 takes over when plugged in. Temp/ humidity data and alarm functions set and downloaded to a PC, historical data is retrievable using a couple of buttons and an LCD screen. You would get around four in a shirt pocket, although unless you really need to know your nipple temperature a hard hat with an extedable radio aerial would be a useful mount for ambient temperature. It would have the added advantage of informing the general public what class of individual is likely to be lurking underneath. The baby monitor will only work from July to September at the moment. There is a strong likelyhood that the useable time period will expand considerably though. AB |

Maybe your phone already has a temperature sensor? Some of the on-board barometers include one, and most of the batteries will have one (though that probably will be a few degrees higher than ambient and won't react quickly to changes) Install the CPU-Z app and see what it can tell you ... |

Cheers Dave R There are matchbox sized sensors with a thermistor on a couple of feet of wire, as used for acquariums etc. (I have a couple on my boiler pipework). Or did you need a probe? Various small ones suitable for cooking and checking food temperatures in fridge, servery, etc. eBay is your friend. |

Plugging a sensor into the earphone socket seems a logical design. The Philips Hue motions sensors have an internal temperature sensor and you can either read that on your phone or ask siri or alexa or google what the temperature is. And siri will tell you the range of all your sensors just by saying 'hey siri room temperature' or you can ask for the temperature in a specific room. Outside temperatures too with the outdoor movement sensor. Not particularly cheap, but on special as cheap as your price. BUT you need the Hue base as well if you arent using the Hue system already. |

I need one for my still. You keep distilling until there is a significant rise in the temperature, that occurs when the bulk of the ethanol has been distilled off and you are starting to get the higher alcohols that you don't want coming off. Also handy with fridges and freezers to alarm when the temp is higher than it should be. You cannot measure ambient temperature with a phone mounted device, or indeed any transportable device unless you mount it on top of your head, over a very well insulated "hat".

The thing has an inbuilt sensor and the pt 100 takes over when plugged in. But arent as useful when you need an alarm function. |
