Infrared Temp Sensor
-
What are you supposed to use this for?
-
I think you use it when you want to measure at distance. For example when measuring the temperature of a flame.
-
or contact-less body temperature
-
Maybe not super useful in a home automation system then...
-
Barbecue temp ?
-
Fire place temp !
I don't know how to say in English... Mass fireplace ? The one's where it still heat the house hours after the last flame ?
-
@Pierre-P tiled stove?
-
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"

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

This thread has now officially derailed.

Anyone knows at what distance it can do the temperature measurements?
-
it seems it depends of object size...http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=281508.0

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.
