Hi,
I would like to create a temperature controller with Arduino. What I would like is that when the temperature of my wood stove reaches 40 celcius the fan starts. And when the temperature drops to 30 celcius, the fan stops.
Which modules should I use? Infrared?
Detail: the fan operates on 120v (approx 1 amp).
Thank you!
What is the maximum temperature the sensor will be exposed to?
Ppl like the Dallas Semiconductor temperature sensors, like the DS18b20.
You can use it as is or get it on a breakout module.
Tons of example code.
Program no tricks at all, your prose translates almost directly to code.
How are you do planning to turn on and off the fan? You can get relay modules directly compatible with the microprocessor that could handle it, or an SSR solid state relay.
It won't be hard until you get ambitious and add an LCD display…
Still fairly easy.

You could start with a search for "arduino temperature controller" to see what others have done.
Consider using a Nano with a DS18B20 temperature sensor and a solid state relay to drive the fan.
