Recommend a temperature sensor? (2017)

[RBoy (www.rboyapps.com - Making SmartThings Easy!)]

If you’re looking for accurate decimal level temperature ZooZ ZSE40 or Monoprice 15902. If you’re looking for long battery life and are okay with a 1-2 degree level of accuracy I would recommend the Monoprice 15271. They are all reasonably priced.

See this post for a comparison of features.

[RELEASE] Enhanced ZooZ 4 in 1 Sensor (ZSE40 v1/v2/v3) Device Handler with Temperature, Humidity, Motion and Luminescence Sensor with Lux Reporting

We’ve done some benchmarking on the ZooZ v/s the Monoprice v/s Ecolink. Temperature: What we’ve found is that the ZooZ ZSE40 is more accurate than the Monoprice when it comes to temperature sensitivity and reporting thresholds. Motion Sensitivity: The EcoLink sensor is the fastest responding motion sensor with a specialized Pet mode that is unique (special design). The Monoprice has a good motion sensor that is semi configurable through a jumper (see our Monoprice Sensor page) and has great battery life. The ZooZ ZSE40 has a highly configurable motion sensor but it’s response time is similar to the Monoprice sensor. The motion sensor range is also comparable to the Monoprice. Humidity: The humidity sensor is sensitive and again highly configurable, it’s reasonably accurate. Light Sensi…
