This is a pre-wired and waterproofed version of the DS18B20 sensor.
Handy for when you need to measure something far away, or in wet
conditions. While the sensor is good up to 125°C the cable is jacketed
in PVC so we suggest keeping it under 100°C. Because they are digital,
you don't get any signal degradation even over long distances! These
1-wire digital temperature sensors are fairly precise (±0.5°C over much
of the range) and can give up to 12 bits of precision from the onboard
digital-to-analog converter. They work great with any microcontroller
using a single digital pin, and you can even connect multiple ones to
the same pin, each one has a unique 64-bit ID burned in at the factory
to differentiate them. Usable with 3.0-5.0V systems.
The only downside is they use the Dallas 1-Wire protocol, which is
somewhat complex, and requires a bunch of code to parse out the
communication. See the how-to section for more information
