Just bought a SensorPush https://www.sensorpush.com/ temperature and humidity sensor for $50 on Amazon. I bought it because I've been having a root rot issue and I had been constantly going to my grow room to check on things mostly of course T & H. I had seen this device many times in my Amazon search and finally broke down and bought one. And, let me first say this isn't all going to be flattering on this product and I in no way am affiliated with Sensor Push nor am I being compensated in any way.
I expected based on the photo on Amazon that the thing had a plug on the back that you couldn't see and it pluged directly into an outlet in the room which I didn't love but I was willing to forgo that to be able to check on my phone at any time on the rooms environment. I also loved the graphs giving you an in depth review of the environment changing over time.
When it arrived the first thing I noticed was its size. I was thinking the size of an older cell phone wall charging plug but instead it's about 1 1/2" square and less than 1/2 inch thick. SMALL. Also, NO PLUG. Now for those of you reading this thinking "this ToimmyDumper is kinda stupid" I say you are very perceptive and 100% correct! I mean what kind of moron would give himself a name like TommyDumper. Spoiler Alert: I earned that nick name in my twenties, and I mean earned it. So anyway I'm a moron and should have read up on this SenorPush better, I agree.
It gets even better though and part of the reason for this post. The Sensor push is a battery powered Bluetooth device that pings your mobile device with a temperature and humidity reading every minute. The app the keeps that data and you can see it numerically or choose a graph by the hour, day, week month or year. Cool Right!
There is a catch. Because it works via Bluetooth, the device and your phone must be within a range. Now for me I get perfect updates to my phone the floor above my grow. My phone has warned me that it is running in the background eating up battery life but I'm OK with that. The tough part is when you leave that range, your device cannot recieve the ping of data and it is lost forever.
Or is it?????? Well technically it is but there is a solution.
SensorPush sells a Gateway
The gateway I have not yet purchased but from my understanding this device will pick up that data for you hold it and transfer it to your device for about $100. How or when I do not yet know. Maybe one of you who already uses this SensorPush can enlighten us all but that's it. That's all I've got.
This is my TommyDumper signing off saying, remember to eat your beans and don't be an idiot like me and admit it to a group of strangers in a blog.
Peace.
