Question regarding solution for checking temp in a sauna… I plan on having a Fibaro smart implant and a ds18b20 cable…

Is there anything else to be aware of or should this simply work?

Don’t forget a stable power supply.

Connect first the DS18B20 and only then include the smart implant into Homey.  
Else, external temperature will not be shown.

Does smart implant support those high temp ?

The value you mean, or the room temp? Keep the unit outside the cabin I think.

(I just found it on the internet, [have a go yourself](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=fibaro+smart+implant+working+temperature&ia=web), cool stuff 😉 )

One note, keep the sensor of the wall couple of centimeters. I’ve been using RuuviTag for years now in the sauna and it handles quite nicely the ~60 degrees.

Implant itself - i think not. So, just keep is outside of hot room 😉  
The temperature sensor - different sources telling max temp 125…126 by Celsius. So, in principles yes, it can handle “average south-european sauna” (in northen part there may be little bit hotter temps in use - sorry for bulling)  
But, does You really need an implant?!? There is more such temp-cappable devices on market. May-be something bundled with switch (and also power supply)?

It needs a fix voltage power supply.  
Some LED power supplies have variable voltage. It is not good for SI.  
Any other solution with DC between 9 and 30 Volts are OK.  
It needs about less then 0,5A at 12V so you do not need a big one. I usually use 1A.

Hi,

Do you use the Ruuvi Pro Tag ?  
It works till ~85 dregrees.  
But wanna be sure can connect with Homey.

Hi all, accidently run into this topic.

I have a solution that works even above 100 degrees Celsius.

Outside I have a Smart Implant, from Fibaro, and a simple small travo (fe [https://www.allekabels.nl/verlichting-transformator/1024/1282073/transformator-led-verlichting.html?mc=nl-nl&gclid=Cj0KCQiAwbitBhDIARIsABfFYILRbljzi-OUV5WP8cT63D5WuyKO7zsitnfIJ3YXBJhaXrhrnZtBAhIaAtVxEALw\_wcB](https://www.allekabels.nl/verlichting-transformator/1024/1282073/transformator-led-verlichting.html?mc=nl-nl&gclid=Cj0KCQiAwbitBhDIARIsABfFYILRbljzi-OUV5WP8cT63D5WuyKO7zsitnfIJ3YXBJhaXrhrnZtBAhIaAtVxEALw_wcB)), which transforms 220 to the lower needed 12 V.

Inside I have a regular temp-sensor ( FIBARO Temperatuur Sensor Ds18b20wtp), that can be connected to the smart implant.

The flows I built give me warnings and messages every change around de 70, 80, 90 and 100 Degrees C. Even with an indication that temp is dropping or rising 🙂 Works for years now!
