These work great and a pretty good way to keep tabs on your place or a particular room in the house or detached garage, etc. It's a good way to identify if your furnace breaks, and if you have an expensive humidor, wine fridge, greenhouse, barn, server/computer case (yep you can put these in there, great way to monitor case temp), etc. it's a great way to keep tabs and get alerts instead of having to go check a thermometer non-stop. The ease of moving these around IMO is better than a Nest or thermostat which is fixed on a wall and obviously regulates a certain area of the home and not specific places (attics, garage, detached buildings, basements, etc.). Homes even with good heating setups may still have problem rooms or rooms where heat is not pumped and homeowners may add separate space heaters in which a thermostat is obviously not regulating. Also a good early warning system for frozen pipes if your furnace gives out as well since you can give ranges for alerts and your phone will sound an alarm if you are out of town. Note, you do need the Gateway for that feature. The equipment does need 2.4ghz WIFI but almost every gateway/router/modem has this (it just needs to be enabled if not already). If you switch out your modem/router I've found it's best to remove and re-add the Gateway so it picks up the new equipment.
I almost wrote this product off because some of the info I read on-line made it seem like I needed to buy the internet hub if I wanted to use these sensors. That's not a feature that I need right now. Thanks for making it clear that you can use these sensors as stand-alone Bluetooth sensors.
Great video thank you . Just subscribed . How do you know if you get one with a gateway and it does not go public so to speak . I have my phone telling me what is available wi-fi wise
Yes, you can access via multiple devices. I have it on my mobile and tablet. Depending on when you last access it, you will see it download the data initially.
To monitor your home while you are away in winter or in any sever weather condition we need - built in digital wide angle Camera, Motions, Temperature, Humidity, Water breaks, Carbon Monoxide, Smoke Sensors. All these sensors data should be stored and accessible remotely via internet on Windows, IOS, Android, Linux devices. May be these functions can be integrated in home security system or NVR.
I'm at a loss to understand why my outdoor humidity/temp sensors continually report (all three of them) a +/- 50% lower RH than the RH reported by the Met Office and other official weather organisations. Maybe my devices are rubbish? But why do they all agree?
@@BrianUnboxed I have found bluetooth range to be pretty bad, i was hoping it used WiFi as that would work better for my use. Using bluetooth the sensor could not be very far from the hub.

How far the wifi Gateway can be from the sensors to still connect?
I've always wanted to try something like this I think I might now thanks to your review

Glad the video helped you. Thanks for watching!
Do you need to shade the sensor outside from the Sun for an accurate temperature reading
Very nice sensors! Great thorough review, keep up the great work!
Thanks for taking the time to watch!
Great video thank you . Just subscribed . How do you know if you get one with a gateway and it does not go public so to speak . I have my phone telling me what is available wi-fi wise
Really wish they would add a sensor that has CO2 as well as humidity and temperature...would be willing to pay more
Sent over by Pusa studios. I look forward to your videos.
Hi. do you know if It is possible to pair the gateway and the sensors to multiple phones at the same time ? Good review
Yes, you can access via multiple devices. I have it on my mobile and tablet. Depending on when you last access it, you will see it download the data initially.
Awesome, thank you for the quick response. Keep up the good work.

You may want to contact support. Hopefully they sort it out for you.
I'm looking for real time readings. Can/will this send info if the temperature exceeds my parameters?
Yes it can send alerts. If you go to 4:05 of the video you see you can set the parameters for Temperature and Humidity alerts.
Can you get alarm notification by email? If so, how different emails?
Wowww 👌👌
Supporting u...
Could you use this in a safe?
Does it communicate with the hub by wireless or bluetooth? also what is the range.
Communicates by bluetooth to the hub. Range is 100 meters, depending on obstructions as well.

Looks like there is a wifi add-on hub that mates with this unit and can be purchased separately.
does anyone know if data can be exported in real time
I could use a sensor kit to monitor water temp pH and ppm
How do you access the sensors remotely?
You would need the wifi gateway unit. I cover it in the video starting at the 2:22 mark....
thanks!
