Wiesemann & Theis Web Thermometer Relay – Intelligent temperature monitoring and control in industrial environments
Precise temperature measurement is now a central component of modern industrial and building technology. With the Wiesemann & Theis Web-Thermometer Relay, a reliable solution is available that combines temperature monitoring and automatic control at the highest technological level. This IoT temperature sensor system is specifically designed to capture precise temperature data in real time while simultaneously taking over switching functions for connected devices. Whether in data centers, industrial production plants, or technical building systems – the system enables intelligent, networked control based on current sensor data.
The Web-Thermometer offers a unique combination of precise measurement technology, a powerful relay switching output, and a user-friendly web interface. It measures temperatures ranging from -50 °C to +180 °C and supports measurements up to +650 °C via an optional sensor connection. This makes it suitable for both standard processes and high-temperature applications. Through the integrated digital relay output, devices or fans can be automatically activated as soon as predefined threshold values are exceeded. This automation function protects critical systems and significantly increases operational reliability.
The Web-Thermometer Relay from Wiesemann & Theis is fully network-capable and operates cloud-based. Temperature monitoring can be performed remotely via web access – from the workplace, the control room, or via smartphone. Alarm messages are automatically sent via e-mail, Syslog, or SNMP trap when threshold values are exceeded. At the same time, the integrated monitoring allows all temperature data to be stored in a cloud or on local servers. This combination of monitoring and control makes the thermometer an indispensable tool for building technicians, IT administrators, and process engineers.
The robust housing, standards-compliant electronics, and low-maintenance design make the device ideal for long-term use in industrial and commercial facilities. The simple installation via Power over Ethernet (PoE) or external power supply allows for easy integration even in challenging installation environments. With its ability to combine measurement, alerting, and control in one system, the Wiesemann & Theis Web-Thermometer Relay marks a significant advancement in automation technology.
Functional Integration and Smart Technology
The main strength of this monitoring system lies in the close integration of temperature measurement, relay control, and network communication. Through the integrated web interface, users can access and configure all functions directly via a browser. No additional software installation is required. The thermometer communicates via established industrial protocols such as OPC UA, MQTT, and REST, allowing seamless integration into modern IoT monitoring and building management systems. Thanks to this openness, the device is ideal for automated control processes, energy management, or climate control systems.
The internal web server visualizes temperature trends and offers extensive analysis functions. Data can be exported directly or stored permanently via the integrated temperature data logger. Up to twenty years of data storage is possible, supported by precise timestamps and a battery-buffered real-time clock. The cloud-based architecture simplifies global remote access – ideal for regional and international installations in industrial networks or IT centers. When defined threshold limits are reached, not only is an alarm triggered, but the switching action via the relay is also activated, eliminating the need for manual intervention.

Automatic Control via Relay Output
The key distinguishing feature of the Web-Thermometer Relay is its integrated relay switching output. This allows direct control of external devices – such as fans, heaters, or air conditioning components – without the need for an additional control unit. The switching output responds to previously defined temperature limits, creating an autonomous control logic. In a server room, for example, the relay output can be activated to switch on ventilation systems as soon as a temperature above 30 °C is recorded. Likewise, in storage areas, the cooling system can be automatically activated when values rise.
This functionality reduces human intervention, automates operational processes, and ensures higher operating reliability. Especially in systems where constant temperatures are vital for electronics, chemicals, or food, the relay output proves indispensable. Combined with cloud-based notifications, this system ensures that temperature deviations are not only detected but immediately corrected.
