This industrial-grade RS485 temperature and humidity sensor features a high-precision digital transducer in a rugged aluminium alloy housing. With a wide measurement range and Modbus RTU communication, it's designed for integration into building automation, HVAC systems, and environmental monitoring networks.
The probe uses a breathable, dust-proof design that protects the internal circuitry while allowing accurate ambient readings. The waterproof, heat-resistant construction makes it suitable for harsh environments including greenhouses, cold rooms, and outdoor installations.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- baud
- Baud is the signalling rate of a serial connection, often used as the speed setting for UART communication. Matching the baud rate matters because both connected devices must use the same setting for readable data.
- Modbus
- Modbus is an industrial communication protocol used by many meters, sensors, PLCs, and automation devices. Modbus support matters because it can make the controller easier to integrate with existing industrial equipment.
- Modbus RTU
- Modbus RTU is a version of Modbus commonly used over RS485 serial wiring. It matters if you need to connect the controller to industrial sensors, meters, or drives that use serial Modbus rather than Ethernet.
- RS485
- RS485 is a robust wired serial communication standard often used in factories, farms, and buildings where cables may be long or electrically noisy. It matters because it lets this controller connect to industrial sensors, meters, and control equipment over longer distances than typical hobby serial wiring.
