Infrared Temp Sensor

[Pierre P]

@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?

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...

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.

I think I need one to differentiate Terminators from actual humans ... in case my dog fails in it's duties.
