How to use MIMO Lite to monitor temperature

[gdahlbeck]

Don't know if any one can help. What I am trying to do is monitor the temperature of an outside pipe. I have a pipe that that is wrapped with a heating cable and insulated but I need to know if the heating cable is not working and the pipe can freeze. I want to monitor the temperature of the pipe underneath the insulation and set an alarm so that I'll be notified if the temperature of the pipe goes below 35 degrees.

I bought a MimoLite I/O device and have attached a 10K Thermistor temperature probe to the inputs on the MiMO. I was hoping to use the contacts to light a light if the temp gets too low.

I talked to the tech rep at Fortrezz and he said the MimoLite could be used to monitor temperature by using a 10K thermistor probe like this one

I paired the MiMoLite and installed the MIMOLite plug-in. After pairing the MIMOlite, MimoBinary Sensor, MIMOGeneric Sensor, and Mimo Pulse sensor showed up on the dashboard.

That's as far as I can get and I haven't found anything in the forum on this.

I called Fortrezz and they said it can be done but they don't do anything with software.

Thanks

Hi,

I cannot help with the MIMO but if all else fails you might try the below sensor connected to any Z Wave "contact" input.

For that mater, you could have two, one for Vera one for a standalone light.

Good luck

Did you have any luck using the MIMO Lite to monitor temperature?

Just saw this. No luck with MiMo Lite. I ordered one of these. Should have it next week.

I am doing the same thing. Let me know how your installation works. Thanks.
