Ok just making sure you did get the reply. I purchased it from Amazon. Here’s a link.

PCsensor Double Sensor Computer USB Thermometer Data Logger Free PC Software for Logging Temperature with Email Alarm -40~+120 Celsius https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073PQJBMQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_PNC0A2035CR21T1QR8NK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Let me know what you find and if there’s any way I can assist or whatever. Appreciate your responses and any help you can offer.

Hi Dusty,

Yes, I got the lsusb output.   I'm not familiar with the model temp sensor
you've got, listed as:

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1a86:e025 QinHeng Electronics


I google'd this device ID and others indicated that a very simple software
update (probably just changing the device PID/VID in the program) was all
that was needed to get it to work.  However, since I don't have one of
these sensors, I can't personally test.   Where did you get this sensor??
If I can get one, I'll try to update the software.

Hi Dusty,

Please post the output from lsusb.  Typically, that family of sensors is
very easy to use. I expect a minor software change will get the model
you've got to work.

Hello, I'm trying to setup a usb temperature sensor on my pi/hamvoip
node/repeater to monitor the temp of the station and such. I just
purchased a TEMPer2 usb sensor. Plugged it into the Pi and ran pcsensor
and it gives the error of "Couldn't find the USB device, Exiting" tried
updating hamvoip and rebooting multiple times to no avail. If I run lsusb
I can see the device listed. So the Pi is seeing it. But pcsensor doesn't
seem to know it's there. Can you offer any guidance?  Thank you!

So after doing some more digging it appears that maybe the sensor I
purchased just simply isn't compatible (TEMPer2). If that's the case, do
you know which sensors are compatible. I'd like to get this working but
not sure what needs to be purchased. Here's a site with different models.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
