Room Heating Thermostat Kit with Arduino Uno + Relay
Arduino Uno Thermostat Kit – Control Your Room Heater Like a Smart Home
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine a room that always stays warm exactly when you want it – without you touching a switch. With this kit, you build a working thermostat that reads real temperature from a DS18B20 probe, toggles a relay to control a heater, and holds a target temperature steadily using hysteresis logic. The LCD screen shows current and set temperatures, just like a commercial smart thermostat. It's a perfect first step into home automation and IoT for young makers, hobbyists, and students.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a complete thermostat circuit on a breadboard, wirelessly (or via jumper wires) connecting the sensor, LCD, tactile buttons, and relay module to an Arduino Uno. Press the buttons to raise or lower the target temperature. The relay clicks on when the room is too cold, then off when it's warm enough, with a programmable difference to avoid rapid switching. Everything is battery-powered and fits in a small enclosure – you can later attach it to a real room heater or use the built-in LED indicator for testing.
What You'll Learn
- Interface a DS18B20 one‑wire temperature sensor and read precise digital values
- Program an Arduino to control a 5V relay module for safe switching of high‑power loads
- Implement hysteresis control logic to maintain stable temperature without oscillations
- Display real‑time data on a 16x2 LCD using an I2C backpack for minimal wiring

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for absolute beginners aged 5+ (adult supervision recommended for the relay wiring), this kit is a hit in ATL Tinkering Labs and CBSE Class 11–12 physics projects. B.Tech ECE and EEE students use it for their first microcontroller lab, and it's a favourite for science exhibitions and Smart India Hackathon prototypes. If you've ever wanted to automate a room heater or just learn how thermostats work, this kit has everything you need.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to open the AI companion; it walks you through each connection and line of code. You can also send a photo or question via WhatsApp and we'll help you within hours.
Can I really connect this to a room heater?
Yes, the relay module can switch mains‑powered heaters up to 10A. For safety, an adult should supervise the final wiring and ensure the circuit is placed away from flammable objects. For testing, you can simply use the onboard relay LED.
Do I need to solder anything?
No, the kit uses a breadboard and jumper wires. The I2C backpack attaches directly to the LCD pins without soldering on this model. All connections are plug‑and‑play.
Will the kit work outdoors or for a greenhouse?
The DS18B20 probe is waterproof, so you can place it in a humid or semi‑outdoor location. Just keep the Arduino and breadboard sheltered from direct rain. The same thermostat logic works for small greenhouse heaters or seed‑starting mats.
DS18B20 controls relay heater to hold target temperature with hysteresis. LCD shows temps.
