The Shelly Plus 1 + Add-on DS18B20 measures temperature and publishes it over MQTT. For that it needs a server (broker): EzGYM gives you one for free, with a username and password per sensor, so you don't have to run a Raspberry Pi or pay for a cloud.

Each reading reaches EzGYM, is kept for 90 days and shows on a chart from 6 hours to 30 days. You set the allowed range (for example -25 to -18 °C for frozen goods) and how many minutes it must stay out before alerting, so opening the door does not trigger an alert.

If the sensor stops sending, because of a power or WiFi outage at night, we let you know too: exactly what you need to avoid losing stock.

How to set it up

  1. 1 Create your free EzGYM account, go to Sensors and add a sensor with its range.
  2. 2 Note the server, username, password and topic the app gives you (the password is shown only once).
  3. 3 In the Shelly Plus 1 + Add-on DS18B20 app or web UI, go to Settings › MQTT and enable it.
  4. 4 Enter ezgym.ddns.net:1883 as Server; the app's Username and Password; and the topic as MQTT prefix.
  5. 5 Save and reboot: within a few minutes you see the reading in EzGYM.
