Whether you want to keep an eye on a musty basement, a cigar collection, a premium guitar, or your baby’s nursery, the line of Sensor Push monitoring products are a dead simple and super accurate solution to help you wirelessly monitor temperature and humidity.
If you’re into any sort of hobby that requires you to keep an eye on optimum conditions, we don’t have to tell you twice why it matters. Cigars require just the right temperature and humidity for safe storage and aging. Hot and dry wine cellars will ruin your wine. Bone dry winter conditions will damage the carefully crafted bodies of wood acoustic guitars and other wood instruments. Keeping all these items at the right temperature and humidity is key to protecting your investment.
Even if you’re not a cigar collector or a flamenco guitarist with a treasured antique guitar, however, there are plenty of reasons to monitor the conditions in your home. High relative humidity in areas of your home with poor ventilation (like basements, crawl spaces, or attics) can lead to mold. Low relative humidity can cause cracking in plaster, woodwork, and is hard on human body—low humidity in the winter makes our bodies more susceptible to illness for instance. Or maybe you just want to easily track the temperature in your crawl space and get an alert when the temperature is cold enough for the pipes to free, or track how hot or cold it gets in the baby’s nursery in the middle of the night.
So what do you do, regardless of which of the above scenarios you’re interested in?
You get a tool that will help you monitor the relative humidity and temperature and place it in the areas of your home (or in the storage location of your hobby items like your humidor or guitar case).There are tons of such products on the market, but most of them have a variety of flaws. The sensors are inaccurate. They’re not wireless so you have to go physically check them. They are wireless but they only work with the company’s proprietary base station.
The product we’re taking a look at today, Sensor Push, hits several key points that make it worth a second look and then some: it’s totally wireless, it’s sensitive and properly calibrated right from the factory, it works with your smartphone, and it tracks conditions over time so you can easily review them (and even export the data). Essentially, it’s everything the other solutions on the market aren’t. Let’s take a closer look.
The Physical Product: Small Sensors and an Optional Hub
You can make your Sensor Push setup as simple or complicated (in a good way) as you want. At the bare minimum to use the Sensor Push platform you need a single sensor, seen below, called simply enough the “HT1″…
