With this kit, you can turn a NETATMO additional indoor module into a smart pool thermometer that can be seamlessly integrated into your Netatmo weather station.
The WLAN pool thermometer “Netatmo Modification – pool@smart2” is now in use in swimming pools and ponds, in more than 14 countries. Look forward to a sophisticated pool thermometer, which you can build yourself with this kit.
This kit contains:
- Original additional NETATMO indoor module (optional)
- Pre-assembled, UV and chlorine-resistant housing parts
- Special glue and brush to be able to connect the housing parts absolutely watertight with each other in the cold welding process.
- Thermally conductive electrical potting compound in order to be able to cast the expensive NETATMO electronics absolutely watertight and airtight, and to be able to guarantee exact measurement results. Including all necessary equipment (measuring beaker, stirring sticks).
- External antenna unit and external battery compartment including connection cable for soldering.
- Thermal insulation kit to protect the battery compartment from condensation and to thermally seal off the temperature sensor and the Netatmo board from solar radiation and outside air temperatures.
- PE swimming ring including silicone ring to adjust the immersive depth.
- Blue silicone ring to visually beautify the lid
- Detailed step by step instructions with pictures.

These are just a few examples of how you can use this WI-FI pool thermometer with IFTTT.
Notes on the pool thermometer kit
- Little manual skills are required to assemble the kit.
- Each step is described in detail and includes pictures.
- The kit contains not only the components required for assembly, but also numerous assembly aids to be able to park or fix the system.
- Three soldering points must be made. This soldering task should also be able to master soldering beginners.
- Please note that you must have a soldering iron and some solder. The basics of soldering should be known. If not, practice on defective components beforehand.
- Tools required: Torx screwdriver size 6, small cross-tip screwdriver, small wire cutter.
- Assembly time: about 60 minutes. Note that the curing of the adhesives and electrical potting compound will delay completion.
Including electronics potting system and insulation kit
No, it is not enough to throw the Netatmo module into a waterproof housing and solder an antenna. We tested it. A pool thermometer is not only exposed to the most common disinfectants such as chlorine, bromine or salt. The weather and especially solar radiation can destroy the pool thermometer housing. In addition, there is the constant change in temperature, which can lead to condensation forming inside the pool thermometer housing. Of course, the pool thermometer also has to cope with the fact that the sensors are under water and the antenna is above water. In the end, you want to get exact measurements.
This kit contains everything you need to overcome all of these challenges. We only use high-quality housing parts that are suitable for every type of pool and that have excellent UV protection. To ensure that the housing is absolutely waterproof, a high-quality adhesive is supplied to connect the parts with each other using a cold welding process.
In order to additionally protect the expensive Netatmo circuit board from moisture, it is encapsulated with an electronic potting compound. The excellent thermal conductivity of this first-class 2-component system ensures an exact temperature measurement. Since the electronics can be destroyed in this process, the detailed assembly instructions supplied contain precise and easily understandable instructions.
The supplied thermal insulation kit ensures exact temperature measurements and reduces condensation to a minimum. The power supply unit and the antenna are thus optimally protected. We also coat the contacts of the connection cable and the battery compartment with a protective oil. Should moisture penetrate in spite of everything, this can prevent corrosion on the battery compartment for some time.
In recent years we have continuously developed this pool thermometer. Benefit from our experience and look forward to a sophisticated and high-quality pool thermometer .

Important notes and requirements
- The kit contains adhesives, cleaning cloths and a 2-component electrical potting compound. Therefore, pay attention to the tab / area hazard warnings.
- You must have the Netatmo weather station to operate this thermometer. The weather station is not part of this offer and can be purchased separately in our shop.
- The Netatmo module is modified in this kit. We can only guarantee the functionality of the finished device if you use our assembly service. If you decide on a kit and follow the assembly instructions exactly, the risk of destroying the electronics is relatively low. However, you should put the Netatmo module into operation before making any modifications to ensure that it works properly. If not, you can complain about the device in its original condition.
- An original Netatmo interior module is modified. A total of 3 additional smart interior modules can be used.
- Since we use a Netatmo indoor module, CO2 and humidity values are also transmitted to the Netatmo app. However, these values have no meaning whatsoever. If you have set up push notifications in the Netatmo app, you may receive warnings about too high CO2 values. Please disable these notifications and use IFTTT’s free push notifications instead.
- Antenna range: Our modification of the original Netatmo interior module does not change the radio range. In our Test, the Base Station was placed in a closed Room (Brick Construction) behind a locked window with direct Visual Contact To the Thermometer. The Pool Thermometer and the original Netatmo Inner module were able to establish stable Connections to the Base Station up to 25 m. Remember that any additional wall or source of interference (e.g. router, metal objects, pool edge, etc.) will reduce the range. We therefore recommend that you test a Netatmo Inner module (if any) at the desired Site (must not get wet) before purchasing. If only one bar is visible in the Netatmo app at the edge of the pool, you should not buy this modification.
- We use PVC components for the swimming pool area. There may be scratches on the components. This applies particularly to the pipe. Since this component is in use under water, this does not interfere visually.
- Not suitable for hot water pools such as hot tubs, hot tubes.
