Ubibot insists on researching and developing self-owned patent products, including the external sensors that match our sensing devices.
There are three types of sensors that can match with the WS1 and WS1 Pro device. Here are the instructions of how to use them.
Using WS1 device:
This device supports DS18B20 sensor. As it only has one USB port, only one sensor can be connected. When using USB power at the same time, one USB splitter is needed. Connect the splitter to the device USB port, one female port is for power and the other is for data transmission.
Using WS1 Pro device:
This device supports DS18B20, TH30s-B, Soil temperature and moisture sensor, and PT-100 extreme temperature sensor.
It has two USB ports, of which the lower one is embedded with RS485 interface. Except the DS18B20 sensor, the others both need to be connected to this lower USB port. While, you can use DS18B20 on either of the USB port. When you need to power the device via Micro USB and you want to connect more than two sensors at the same time, please remember, the ends of the splitter must be connected with one power supply and one sensor, or one DS18B20 and one RS485 sensor. Two same sensors are not supported on one port.
Using GS1 device:
The GS1 device is built with RS485 interface and audio jack. It supports all of the 6 types of Ubibot sensors, such as TH30S-B temperature humidity sensor, Soil moisture sensor, PT-100 temperature sensor, CO2 sensor, wind speed sensor, external light sensor.
If you only need one type sensor, you can connect it to the device directly. If you need more than one type, our splitters will allow you to attach multiple sensors simultaneously. Please see the following cutline for reference. Please note, only one piece of sensor of each type is supported. You can not attach two or more of the same sensors at a time. And, the TH30S-B sensor and CO2 sensor can not be used simultaneously.
*Note, the sensors are under one year limited warranty since the purchase date. For details, please click here.

I have 4 Ubibot WS-1 units. 2 units have external temperature probes.
I have trouble keeping these probes connected to the UbiBot Control panel.
They will show a past temperature but are grayed out. If I unplug and replug
in the probe becomes active, however only for a short time. Is there a resolution
to this? mwdavis76@gmail.com
Me also.
I have the same problem, the temperature and humidity probe RS485 are grayed out. One unit shows a past temperature and the other unit shows me 0%
After even buying and replacing a probe due to this, I found the solution somewhere in settings.
It's been awhile but look under Device Management or Data Management when you are in a device. Make sure the switches are set to yes that should be.
