Sorry for my question, I am not certain result of my research on the forum.
Does a probe of t° DS18B20 have to work with the interface Soil Moisture/Leaf Wetness, or can it be connected directly on a TX?
You are right, the DS18B20 (1-wire) sensor only work with the Soil/Leaf Interface.

My small children always ask the same question: "is the swimming pool good papy?"
The WeatherDuino system have some less know possibilities, that we can use to do some interesting things...
I have a pond with some fishes, I always had curiosity about the water temperature during the winter, to know if I should give them some warm clothes...
Of course I have a Soil/Leaf interface installed with some sensors, mainly for testing purpose, but what I'm using to measure the water temperature of the pond, is thing completely different.
I'm using a cheap commercial device, which is intended to be used as a soil moisture sensor, the device, as a soil moisture device, its a complete crap, but happens that it have a thermistor as a temperature sensors, and also an 433 Mhz RF transmitter which transmits in a protocol which the WeatherDuino can decode. So I changed the internal thermistor of the device (thank you JT118 by the idea), by a similar waterproof thermistor, and I'm using it as an Extra sensor.
