Description
The KY-013 Temperature Sensor Module is a simple analogue temperature-sensing component that’s ideal for adding environmental monitoring to Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and microcontroller projects.
This module uses a thermistor (NTC – Negative Temperature Coefficient) that changes resistance with temperature, providing an analogue voltage output that can be read with analogRead().
This module is ideally suited for applications such as weather stations, temperature-triggered automation, and thermal logging, where relative or calibrated temperature readings are needed.
Its compact size and 3-pin interface make it easy to integrate into breadboard setups or permanent installations.
