TEMP-1B food probe

The TEMP-1B comes with an optional food probe which can be used to monitor food temperatures when baking, grilling, etc. It includes a heat-resistant cable but the TEMP-1B itself needs to stay in a cool environment.

1. To use your food probe, take it out of the package and insert it into the 3.5mm port on your TEMP-1B.

2. Once inserted, proceed to step 3 unless you have a battery in it

If you are using it with a battery you need to push the reset button.

The TEMP-1B looks for the food probe when it boots and if it is not there then the sensor is marked as failed and will not report a temperature. You need to click the reset button if you have a battery in it or power cycle your TEMP-1B to make it reliably use the new food temperature probe.

3. In the Homey app, open your TEMP-1B's Settings and, under Probes and offsets for TEMP-1 and TEMP-1B, set Select probe to Food.

Do not leave your sensor outside or let it get wet!

The TEMP-1B should not be left outside for long periods of time or allowed to get wet. You will need to use another case around your TEMP-1B if there will be high moisture content in the air or if it is expected to rain.
