Infrared Temp Sensor

[Dalhoj]

Maybe for floor heating, then you dont have to place anything on the floor, and can have a thermostat on the wall, but messure on the floor.

Now we're talking! Fireplace temp is also interesting use-case.

...or for the daily medical checkup. Every morning the house says:

-- "Henrik, Please stand in front of the temp sensor"

Maybe not super useful in a home automation system then...

By the power of hundred's of mysensors hacker's, I summon USE !

[scalz]

ahah excellent!
I would say like you, for daily check, I would integrate this in my bathroom, in a diy infinite mirror with some cool gesture stuff. !

@scalz water temperature ? For baby bath ? I'll check if it work with my next coffee. Let me find my ir sensor.
I've got one for my 3d printer so:
3d printer safety control ! Because we should be next when printing, but we can't.

@Pierre P : (wapata???) +1 for 3d printer with smoke sensor ;)
for this temp sensor, it could be near a cooker so you know if you forgot to power off, sometimes it happens to me...

Check temp of the place on my desk where the soldering iron stands... maybe one day prevents a fire. :P

Maybe to check if the misses is ovulating? :) Or human detection instead of a motion detector at the front door?

I need no temp sensor for that one. ;)

Maybe you want to add an moisture sensor to that? :P

Anyone knows at what distance it can do the temperature measurements?

[scalz]

it seems it depends of object size...http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=281508.0

or contact-less body temperature ;)

Isn't this what they use at the airports in pandemic situations?

@m26872

In China they used FLIR cameras on the border to Hong Kong 8-10 years ago.. (that was the last time I encountered temperature measurement at border crossings / airport terminals)

For science !

ps: yes it's working

I have been rethinking this for years now... considering the price of a "real" infrared camera. Plenty neat initiatives on that front...

DIY Infrared camera

maybe you could mount 4 together on the roof and get temperatures of 4 room walls averaging out the room temperature.

Or maybe a cheap person detector, is uncle bob sat in his favourite chair? 18deg or 30deg.
