To keep track of this I built up a wireless temperature reporting system using a pair of Arduinos, wireless transmitter/receiver modules, an LCD display and a temperature sensor.

This page contains my notes on that project.  More detailed information on the HC-12 is here:  http://trainelectronics.com/Arduino/HC-12-Serial_Radio/

The transmitter prototype shown here includes the three items in the schematic.

Receiver
Note that you must disconnect the wire from the HC-12 to pin 2 (RX) to program the Arduino.

This photo shows the first prototype built on a prototyping board.  It follows the schematic above.

Here I made a more compact, soldered unit.  Note the connector at the white arrow that can be removed when you program the Arduino.  You CANNOT program the Arduino if there is a connection to the RX or TX pins on it.

The lower sensor is just plastic pipe fittings with the exiting wire being held with the type of putty that is used by electricians when a cable goes through the side of a house.

FILE NAME: DS18B20-HC-12-xmit---WORKS

The code is here:

#include <OneWire.h>
#include <DallasTemperature.h>

#define ONE_WIRE_BUS 2
unsigned long x = 0;
OneWire oneWire(ONE_WIRE_BUS);

DallasTemperature sensors(&oneWire);

float Celcius = 0;
float Fahrenheit = 0;
void setup(void)
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  //Serial.println(("HC-12 Radio Test"));
  delay (200);
  //Serial.println(("Sends Fahrenheit Temperature "));

  sensors.begin();
}

void loop(void)
{
  sensors.requestTemperatures();
  Celcius = sensors.getTempCByIndex(0);
  Fahrenheit = sensors.toFahrenheit(Celcius);
  //  Serial.print(" C  ");
  //  Serial.print(Celcius);
  //  Serial.print(" F  ");
  Serial.println(Fahrenheit);
  delay(1000);
}

The code is here - note that a Minimum / Maximum temperature has been added to the display

Details on how it works can be found here.  http://trainelectronics.com/BikeTemperatureFlasher/  This is the original article.  This link is to a modification that only reports temperature periodically and is appropriate for solar panel power.  http://trainelectronics.com/BikeTemperatureFlasher/inTheGarden/index.htm

Note that this option does NOT use an Arduino but a PIC 12F683 microcontroller.
