Product detailed description

🌡️ Reliable sensor for your home automation

Shelly DS18B20  is a digital temperature sensor designed for smart modules compatible with the Shelly ecosystem (such as The Pill), as well as expansion modules from other manufacturers. The sensor is equipped with a 3.5 mm jack connector, allowing for easy Plug&Play installation. Its compact design and 1-meter cable provide great flexibility for placement in various measurement locations. 

The DS18B20 sensor ensures accurate digital temperature measurement. Thanks to its wide operating range from -55 °C to +125 °C, it is an ideal solution for smart home automation, heating control, server room monitoring, as well as measuring water temperature in aquariums, tanks, or greenhouses. When connected to the Shelly ecosystem, the sensor allows you to create automations, receive notifications, and set up smart control logic based exactly on the measured values.

Thanks to digital communication, the sensor ensures stable and accurate data transmission. You can use multiple DS18B20 sensors simultaneously in a single system, allowing you to monitor several different locations at once. Using a splitter for the 3.5 mm jack, the Shelly The Pill module can manage up to 5 DS18B20 sensors simultaneously.

The stainless steel probe and durable cable make this sensor perfect for reliable and long-term operation. Thanks to its compact dimensions and easy integration, it is an excellent choice not only for home DIY projects but also for advanced automation systems.

Examples of use

💧 Monitoring water and liquid temperature

Keep aquariums, pools, boilers, water tanks, or other liquids under control thanks to precise temperature measurement. The Pill module by Shelly easily connects to your water temperature sensors and sends the measured data in real time directly to the Shelly Smart Control app. Use this data to automate heating – as soon as the temperature drops, the system can automatically switch on pumps or heaters to maintain ideal conditions. It is a great solution for stabilizing aquatic ecosystems, maintaining pleasantly warm water in the pool, and increasing energy efficiency at the same time.

🌿 Climate monitoring in greenhouses

Whether you are maintaining a healthy climate at home or trying to create ideal conditions for your plants to grow, The Pill module by Shelly will provide you with accurate temperature data thanks to the DS18B20 temperature sensor. Real-time measurements directly in the Shelly Smart Control app will help you automate heating and cooling systems, thermostats, humidifiers, or ventilation in greenhouses. Maintain pleasant comfort at home and ensure a stable environment for your greenery – all with a single compact control unit.

🖥️  Temperature monitoring in server rooms

Protect your critical IT equipment using the DS18B20 temperature sensor. Place one or more sensors directly into server cabinets (racks) or critical locations and connect them to The Pill module by Shelly. You will get real-time data in the Shelly Smart Control app, allowing you to detect overheating early, automate cooling, and protect your servers from costly downtime caused by high temperatures.

🍎 Temperature monitoring for food storage

Cooling boxes and food storage areas require strict temperature control. By installing the DS18B20 temperature sensor directly into refrigerators, freezers, or other storage spaces, The Pill module by Shelly provides you with accurate real-time data right into the Shelly Smart Control app. This allows you to monitor temperature stability, receive alerts when safe limits are exceeded, and simplify compliance with strict food safety standards.
