LoopStringLoopString

Wireless temperature monitoring system

Monitor temperature across your whole facility from one dashboard, get alerted the moment something drifts, and keep an audit-ready record — with monitoring and logging that run on-site and keep going even when the internet does not.

LoopString is the software and edge platform. A Raspberry Pi reads your probes locally; you read them wirelessly from anywhere over a secure Tailscale link.

Built for the places temperature matters most

Cold storage & walk-in coolers

Monitor every cooler and freezer from one dashboard with per-room limits, and get a threshold alert within seconds of a temperature excursion — plus HACCP/FDA-style logged history for audits.

Cold storage monitoring →

Greenhouses & grow rooms

Track canopy and ambient temperature alongside humidity and VPD, and drive vents, fans, and heaters on the Pi. Setpoints follow the crop through the day.

Greenhouse monitoring →

Fermentation & cold chain

Hold fermenter temperature with an on-Pi control loop, log the curve for every batch, and alert if a ferment drifts — for beer, wine, or cultured foods.

Supported temperature hardware

Pick the probe for your accuracy and environment. LoopString reads all of these on a Raspberry Pi and shows them live — no per-sensor coding.

DS18B20 (1-Wire)

Waterproof probe, the workhorse for tanks, coolers, and thermowells.

PT100 / PT1000 RTD

High-accuracy resistance probes for process and lab duty.

Thermocouples (K-type via MAX31855)

Wide-range for roasting, stills, and industrial heat.

SHT3x / SHT40 / AM2320 (I²C)

Combined temperature + humidity for climate control.

Frequently asked questions

Is LoopString a wireless temperature monitoring system?
LoopString is the software and edge platform. A Raspberry Pi reads wired temperature probes locally, and the "wireless" part is the network link: the browser reads live readings from the Pi over Wi-Fi/Ethernet via Tailscale, from anywhere. So you get remote, wireless access to sensors that are wired to the device for accuracy and reliability.
What temperature sensors does it support?
The Parts Library includes DS18B20 (1-Wire waterproof probes), PT100/PT1000 RTDs, K-type thermocouples via MAX31855, and combined temperature/humidity sensors like SHT3x, SHT40, and AM2320. You pick the probe for your accuracy and environment; the Configurator wires it into a flow for you.
How fast will it alert me to a temperature excursion?
Threshold alerts fire within seconds of a reading crossing the limit you set, over the channels you configure. Monitoring and logging run on the on-site Pi, so they continue even if your internet drops; alert notifications (email/SMS/push) send from the cloud, so during an outage they queue and deliver as soon as the connection returns, along with the buffered history.
Does it keep records for compliance?
Yes. Timestamped temperature history is stored durably in the cloud and can be exported as HACCP/FDA/USDA-style reports, with alert events carrying acknowledgement trails. The second-by-second monitoring stays on the device; the cloud holds the rolled-up record.
