So I just wanted to post about my experience with hygrometers and to make a recommendation. I’ve tried several sensors, and found the bulk of them to be too inaccurate. Additionally, I was looking for something that I could use to track my temperature and humidity remotely. I didn’t like the idea of training a webcam on the sensor display. I wanted something that was designed for mobile display inherently.
Then I found SensorPush: http://www.sensorpush.com
and my search was over.
SensorPush is a small wireless sensor (about the size of a half dollar but thicker) that allows you to check temp and humidity on your phone with the SensorPush app. The sensor itself is about $50, but it is accurate, small, and stupid easy to use. The only limitation with it is that you have to be within Bluetooth range for it to send updates to your phone.
However, they also sell what they call a Gateway for ~$100. The Gateway takes the sensor data and pushes it to the internet so that you can check your temps, etc., on your phone from ANYWHERE. This takes the SensorPush from really good to amazing.
The app is clean and easy to use. The setup is moderately simple. You not only get temp and humidity, but interactive charts that show your history of temps and humidity, as well as visuals showing their spread over time.
I know ~$150 is a lot for remote temp and humidity, but if you have the dough, I feel like it’s well worth it. I wanted to share in case anyone was looking for a reliable, elegant solution for monitoring. I’d also love Nebula to check it out and potentially mention it on GWE if she feels it’s a worthwhile addition to the site.
And FWIW, I’m not shilling, just sharing. I’ll be doing some separate posts for other parts of my setup, like my Gorilla tent, but my SensorPush is definitely one of the cooler aspects of my grow.
Finally, what do you all use for your setup? Pros and cons?
