I need a waterproof sensor to monitor a pool temperature. Can anybody speak intelligently about the remote sensors that this thermostat will accept?

I would recommend contacting RCS Tech Support. This is a special application.

No , that is a 'Retail' thermostat , I don't believe it is RedLink or compatible with remote sensing capabilities. You would want the TH8321R stat.

It might be. Others have commented on short life for new thermocouple, operating temperature of safety sensor is different part numbers will vary. Sensor temp rating has NOTHING to do with thermostat setting for water temp!!! Be sure to clean the combustion air screen on bottom or around the base of the heater. Lack of air flow is #1 reason for thermocouple (sensor) failure. If you need owner's manual, go to aosmith.com & follow tabs to your model. I checked & it is available.

The Previous answer is right. Thermocoupler is the wrong sensor for this controller. It needs a 10K ohm NTC (Negative Termperature Coefficient) thermistor. The 10K ohm is the resistance of the thermistor measured at 25 degree C.

sk642 - is remote dial out that will work with this for the remote monitoring that you are looking for. And it comes with one of the wireless sensors

Yes, we have it installed in a salt water pool. The sensor tip is sealed in plastic.

i dont believe the thermostat can read the remote "thermostat" or remote "sensors", unless it has the 12 volt power from the 4th wire to operate that part of the system

I just followed the listing info which said....Th7000 and Th8000 Thermostats (made by Honeywell). The remote sensor takes the place of the internal sensor on the thermostat, which is what I needed. Hope that helps.

No sir.. It does work as a wireless temp sensor. I purchased because my thermostats are located in a weird place in the house. I wanted to be able to move the temp sensor around without moving the stat. For example, our bedroom stat is in the hallway. With this unit, I am able to read and adjust the bedroom temp. You can set it up to use the stat for the temp sensor or the remote temp sensor. Honestly, I love mine. I actually have 2 now and helped to eliminate moving the stat and fixed the hot/cold spots where we generally are in the house. Easy to set up and works great. My stats are Honeywell VisionPro 8000.

This is an indoor only sensor - it's not made for the elements, not water tight etc. in fact I wrapped the seams in electrical tape just to make sure water didn't get in the unit. My application is using one in my laundry and one in the room with my water heater and basement drain.

Hey, Stephen. There is a sensor but I'm not sure about it being "remote." The sensor is on a wire. One end of the wire is connected to the device and the sensor on the other end can be stuck to the wind shield to get the outdoor temp.

Check this out more on your own but I think this would work. No promises.Honeywell RWD80/T Water Defense Water Sensing Alarm Extension Cable

No unfortunately I don't think you can it is a generic programmed unit. I purchased a water temp gauge in Celsius on accident and couldn't fix it

I don't think there is such a thing as a "wireless sensor"... but you could try and build an arduino RF receiver and run a filtered pwm output into the sensor temperature leads of this PID controller, and build an arduino RF transmitter with the temp sensor attached that sends the value to the receiver. But if that's the case, i'd recommend just use the same arduino (receiver end) with a relay and program the PID function into the board and save the cost of this controller.. never tried such a thing though..

Far as I know there are no physical "add-on" sensors for the thermostat, nor any place to connect them. The unit relies on weather-based reporting data via a wifi network for outdoor/remote sensing based on zip code and are not specific to the thermostat's "exact" mounted location. It does have it's own temperature/humidity sensors integrated on board for specific mounting location temp/humidity readings that vary slightly from the wifi readings.

I installed two of these sensors with my Vera Lite and they work very well. Vera can remotely arm or bypass. Vera can send notifications on trigger events (for instance if opened or closed) or low battery condition. Recommended for Vera Lite.

I don't use any sensors, but I believe that these are compatible with rain sensors. Better actually, the software via the internet modem will take the rain report for your location and not run your sprinklers as such.
