Looking for recommendations for a Zigbee temperature sensor that is safe to put in a fridge?
I'm not sure if that even exists? Batteries aren't supposed to get that cold? #smarthome#homeautomaton#zigbee#homeassistant
@mhamzahkhan Strictly speaking only the temp probe needs to be inside the fridge - not the entire unit. A cable for a probe easily fits past the door membrane and could be long enough to reach the back - or where-ever the unit is best mounted.
@mhamzahkhan, I've no idea regarding IoT thermometer but batteries do fine in fridges and freezers. I just get a generic thermometer for like 3 lb GPB with an appropriate temperature range and use them in both.
AAA, @mhamzahkhan (I use the alkaline kind so they don’t leak in the fridge when they run out, not sure if that has anything to do with cold resistance)
