Do I need multiple sensors?

The same sensor can simultaneously monitor temperature and humidity and alert when important trigger points have been reached.

You need multiple sensors when you have multiple remote locations. For example, to monitor your garage and your basement, you will need two sensors. Control and receive alerts from unlimited sensors under one easy-to-manage account. (All accounts are free, no fees or subscriptions)

What is the Temp Stick WiFi range?

All Temp Sticks have a WiFi range of 300-400 ft (unobstructed). Doors, walls, floors and other obstructions can impact this range. The sensor contains state-of-the-art "safe wall" penetrating WiFi technology that is designed to work on nearly every type of safe, refrigerator, freezer, walk-in cooler etc. If there are Wi-Fi signal challenges at the location where you place a Temp Stick then we advise to consider solutions such as adding a Wi-Fi range extender to enhance connectivity.

Temp Stick PRO: Using the external probe's 6ft wire allows strategic placement of the probe inside the freezer while keeping the main unit outside, optimizing Wi-Fi signal reception.

Shop Temp Stick Products
Does this work with a WiFi hotspot?

Yes. The sensor connects to any open WiFi network or network you have access to, including mobile hotspots (like a Verizon JetPack).

Please note, if you plan on using an iPad or iPhone to provide a hotspot, many Apple iPad and iPhone users find these types of hotspots are unreliable and will switch off after just 1 to 90 minutes of inactivity.

Shop Temp Stick Products
What if the connection is lost?

If the sensor loses its internet (WiFi) connection, it will continue to log data and automatically re-connect when the connection is available again. You can receive an alert when the Temp Stick loses and regains connection to the internet.

Shop Temp Stick Products
Is there an ethernet port?

There are no ethernet ports on the Temp Stick sensor. A wireless internet connection (WiFi) is required.

Do you have a public API?

We do offer a public API, find the API key within your account and full instructions on how to implement it at our Developer Docs.

Power

How is Temp Stick powered?

Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA Batteries (Included):

Recommended for extreme heat and freezer applications: Lithium batteries perform even in the most extreme temperatures, making lithium batteries perfect for extremely cold or hot conditions where alkaline batteries typically cease to function. Use Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries (2 AA x 1.5v) at temperatures down to -40°

AC Power with AA Batteries as Back Up:

Temp Stick +Power and Temp Stick PRO models run on AC power (micro-usb) or 2xAA battery power. When plugged in, AC power is used by default. Temp Stick seamlessly switches to battery if AC power is interrupted. Create power outage and recovery alerts for these events in the app. Included with Temp Stick +Power and Temp Stick PRO is a Micro-USB power cable (6 ft), AC adapter & 2x AA batteries.

Example 1: "The RV's temperature went above 80 F (currently 95.6 F)"

Example 2: "Brrr! The fridge is too cold, it's -10.2 F, save the cans of soda!"

Shop Temp Stick Products
Can I create more than one alert for the same sensor?

Yes, you can create many alerts triggers for temperature and humidity.
Use this feature to create alerts for different individuals or groups.

For example: If sensor temperature goes above 75° F, alert person A. Then, if temperature goes above 81° F, alert person A + B etc.

Can the sensor be calibrated?

No, the sensor is factory calibrated. But you can achieve "calibration like" synchronization with other instruments by increasing or decreasing the "calibration offset value" for your sensor.

For example: your home thermometer might typically read 50°F and Temp Stick might typically read 51.2°F. You can set the Temp Stick to offset the temperature by -1.2°F in its settings, this will change its readings to display with that offset and alerts will calculate using that offset.

Shop Temp Stick Products
Can I export historical data?

Yes. You can export data for download as comma-separated values (CSV) files.

Shop Temp Stick Products
Can I display C° or F° ?

Yes. You can switch between the two types in your account settings.
