  • 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)

    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°

Sensor Readings

  • 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 ±0.15°C (max)
    Temperature operating range -40 to 140°F
    Precision Relative Humidity Sensor ±2.0% RH (max)
    Humidity operating range 0 to 100% RH
    Black Temp Stick
  • 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.

    Black Temp Stick
  • Can I export historical data?

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

    Black Temp Stick
  • Can I display C° or F° ?

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

    Black Temp Stick

Alerts and Notifications

  • What types of alerts are sent?

    You can configure Temp Stick to send any combination of text, email and push notifications. Send alerts to as many people as you'd like.

  • How quickly are alerts sent?

    Alerts and notifications are sent instantly when the sensor checks in and the readings trigger an alert. You can change how frequently Temp Stick checks in in its settings.

    Black Temp Stick
  • 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.

    Black Temp Stick
  • Can I customize alerts?

    Yes, text and email alert messages can contain any mix of pre-written text and sensor data. Maximum message length is 140 characters.

    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!"

    Black Temp Stick
  • 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.

    Black Temp Stick
  • Can I get automated reports?

    Temp Stick can send you automated Temperature & Humidity reports by email. Choose from daily, weekly or monthly + unlimited data history.
