Are there any additional Fees?
No. With Temp Stick you just pay for the sensor. The Unlimited data logging and 24/7 monitoring and alerts are FREE for the lifetime of the sensor.
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)
Is Temp Stick an alarm?
Temp Stick is a silent alarm and monitoring device. It sends texts, email and alerts when trigger points are activated based on your settings.
Does Temp Stick control anything?
No. Temp Stick is a WiFi powered sensor with free alerts and monitoring, it is not a controller for home automation or appliances.
Does this connect to other systems?
No. The sensor runs independently of any other service you may have.
Is a smartphone required?
A smartphone is recommended but not required. You can receive text message alerts on any phone (even an older flip phone). Settings and history can be accessed from any web-capable device (pc, tablet or smartphone). Log in from anywhere.
How is Temp Stick powered?
Alkaline Batteries (Included)
Your Temp Stick sensor comes with two 1.5V AA alkaline batteries. Average battery life expectancy with default settings is 1+ years.
Lithium Batteries:
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 Lithium batteries (2 AA x 1.5v) at temperatures down to -40°
How does Temp Stick connect?
The sensor connects to your existing internet connection via WiFi.
How do I access Temp Stick?
Log in with your smartphone, tablet or PC. Access from anywhere, anytime.
What is the Temp Stick WiFi range?
The sensor has a 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.
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.
What if the connection is lost?
If the sensor loses it's internet (WiFi) connection, it will continue to log data and automatically re-connect when the connection is available again. The Temp Stick can alert you when you lose internet connection and also when the connection has been re-established.
Is there an ethernet port?
There are no ethernet ports on the Temp Stick sensor. A wireless internet connection (WiFi) is required.
What are the dimensions of Temp Stick?

The dimensions of a Temp Stick are 3.5" x 1.25" x 1.375"

How do I attach Temp Stick?
Depending on how you are using Temp Stick, you might not need any mounting. Just place it where you need it for instant alerts and monitoring.
The sensor comes with optional velcro for easy wall mounting. The sensor is lightweight and easily attaches to many surfaces.
Does Temp Stick operate in freezers?
The sensor temperature range is between -40° to 140° F. Lithium batteries perform best in extremely cold or hot conditions where alkaline batteries typically cease to function. Lithium batteries are recommended for temperatures down to -40°.
What is the temperature range?
The sensor temperature range is between -40° to 140° F.
Is Temp Stick waterproof?
No, the sensor is not waterproof. The sensor measures humidity (non-condensing moisture levels) from 0 to 90%.
How accurate is Temp Stick?
The sensor is factory-calibrated and has excellent long term stability to within less than half a degree.
High Accuracy Temperature Sensor : ±0.4° C (max)
Temperature Operating Range Up to -40 to +140° F
Precision Relative Humidity Sensor : ± 4% RH (max), 0-80% RH
0 to 100% RH operating range.
Can the sensor be calibrated?
No, the sensor is factory calibrated. But you can achieve 'calibration like' syncronization with other instruments by increasing or decreasing the 'calibration offset value' for your sensor. Example: A home thermometer reads 50° F and Temp Stick reads 51.2° F, therefore choose to display data and calculate alerts with a -1.2 degree offset.
Can I export historical data?
Yes. You can export data for download as comma-separated values (CSV) files.
Can I display C° or F° ?
Yes. You can switch between the two types in your account settings.
What types of alerts are sent?

How quickly are alerts sent?
Alerts and notifications are sent instantly. In addition, the sensor checks-in hourly and keeps you up to date.
Can I alert multiple contacts?
Yes, you may have a total of ten contacts to receive alerts and notifications under one account. Additionally, customize which contacts receive specific alerts.
Is there a weekly check-in?
Yes, the sensor sends a weekly status update.
Can I customize alerts?
Yes. Text and email alert messages, sent up to 10 people can contain any mix of text and sensor data you would like. Maximum message length is 140 characters.
Example: "The RV went above 80F. 6:15PM 06/07/2020"
