Water temperature tube sensor

ESPHome
1

Hi,
I have a sensor in my garage running ESPHome. It has the normal DHT22. I installed it to the outside of a copper pipe to measure the temperature of the watter running through my hose. The copper pipe was put inbetween the hose to beter measure the temperature.
It works but it is to slow. Does anyone know of a sensor I can put inbetween a hose in direct contact with the water and works with ESPHome?

thanks!

I’d look for a waterproof version of 1-wire sensor DS18B20. They are cheap and pretty accurate.
