Temperature Controlled Switch

Can be used for precise temperature control in areas like sous-vide.

This software was tested on Raspberry Pi Pico. Attached with:

  • DS18B20 temperature sensor
  • I2C 128*64 mono-color display
  • 3 LEDs for displaying status
  • Rotary encoder to set target temperature
  • Relay to control heating element (for example, a cheap rice-cooker that don’t have any built-in microcontroller)

Connections:

  • Temperature sensor – GP16
  • I2C display: SDA – GP26, SCL – GP27
  • LEDs: GREEN – GP20, YELLOW – GP19, RED – GP18
  • Rotary encoder (no pullup resistor required): GP12, GP13
  • Relay: Share pin with RED LED – GP18.

Status:

  • Green: temperature above target (heating off)
  • Red: temperature below target (heating on)
  • Yellow: updating display content
