Just wire plug on or do you need to put resister in.
Yes I would get one from the RA shop but not being in the US post and handling charges when it gets into the UK ends up $70 for one $9 probe.

The link doesn't work for me but if it's a DS18B20 probe you'll be fine.

When you say it's "behaving erratically lately," can you elaborate a little on that? You may not have a bad probe. Mine will fluctuate by 0.2 degrees every second or so when I have bus issues. I have to re-seat the USB cables in my expansion hub to get it to work again when it starts doing that.

Behaving erratically: it reads ok then reads 0 then maybe 10 then 0 does that for a while.
Also seen the unit rebooting its self when it does that.
Here the spec of probe in the link.

If you look at the head unit pins pointing at you, the right is Vdd, the middle is data and the left is GND.

Hmmm Put that sensor on from left looking at front of RA <Black-Yellow-Red> RA boots then goes black no screen no green LED no red LED.
Also my original Temp probe is <Black-Red-White>
