The emonTH V2 is an open-source, wireless, battery powered temperature and humidity monitoring node.
It is an easy to deploy tool for monitoring building / room temperature and humidity. Data from the emonTH is transmitted via UHF radio (433MHz) to an emonPi / emonBase web-connected base-station for logging to Emoncms for data logging, processing and graphing. Room temperature and humidity data can be used to inform a heating control system, feed into a building performance model or simply for general interest.
Features
Temperature and humidity sensing - using the onboard Si7021 temperature and humidity sensor and (optionally) an external DS18B20 temperature sensor.
- Easy to set-up - the unit comes pre-assembled and pre-loaded with Arduino compatible firmware. If desired the code can easily be modified using Arduino IDE or PlatformIO and uploaded using an USB to UART cable to the on-board ATmega328 microprocessor.
- Long Battery Life - The emonTH is powered by two AA batteries which will last over 4 years. Use alkaline batteries for longest battery life or rechargable eneloops for best environmental benefit.
- RF node ID DIP switch Selection - Up to four RF node IDs (23,24,25 & 26) can be set via physical onboard DIP switches. See hardware wiki.
