Say it to PAL

“Tell me when it gets too warm.”

The code PAL writes

p.onSensorChange('modulino-thermo', 'temperature', (tempC) => {
  if (tempC > 30) p.notify(`Temperature alert: ${tempC.toFixed(1)}C`);
});
await p.waitUntilStopped();

“Keep a log of the temperature and humidity, at most once a minute.”

The code PAL writes

let last = 0;
p.onSensorChange('modulino-thermo', 'temperature', async (tempC) => {
  if (Date.now() - last < 60000) return; // temperature has no deadband - throttle here
  last = Date.now();
  const rh = await p.read('modulino-thermo', 'humidity');
  p.log(`${tempC.toFixed(1)}C, ${rh.toFixed(0)}% RH`);
});
await p.waitUntilStopped();

When to pick it

Cheap temperature + humidity for comfort and environmental monitoring. Choose it when the board is already an Arduino Modulino chain. Prefer the SHT40 when you want the tighter +/-1.8 %RH humidity figure, or the TMP117 when you need lab-grade temperature.

About it

The Arduino Modulino Thermo carries a Renesas HS3003 relative-humidity and temperature sensor (ABX00103 datasheet, section 7.5: "HS3003 0x44"). Intended for environmental monitoring, weather stations and HVAC applications.
