SensorPush is the easiest way to monitor the environmental conditions affecting the things you care about. Quickly pair the app with our Humidity & Temperature Smart Sensors (available at http://www.sensorpush.com/buy) and enjoy the sleek interface for viewing current and past conditions. Add the SensorPush G1 WiFi Gateway for easy access to your data from anywhere, using our included cloud service. In addition to the elegant current conditions and time series displays, the distribution views give you instant insight into what temperature and humidity levels are most prevalent in a location and what the extremes were for the previous hour, day, week, month, or year. Of course, as much as you care about your home, musical instruments, family heirlooms, art or wine collections and other prized possessions, you don't need yet another chore: continually monitoring their thermometer and hygrometer readings. This is why we created a streamlined interface to configure desired conditions and enable alerts. You can easily set the optimal range for any situation, whether it's a greenhouse or your guitar. Then when your iOS device is within range of the sensor (300+ feet line of sight), it will be continuously monitoring conditions. Even when you're away, the Smart Sensor will continue to monitor conditions and upon your return the data will be seamlessly pushed to your iOS device which will notify you of problematic conditions so you can take action. Love data? Export your entire history to CSV for analysis with Numbers, Excel or virtually any spreadsheet or data application. Try SensorPush today and protect yourself from moldy basements and attics, cracked and damaged musical instruments, ruined family keepsakes and other costly and frustrating mishaps caused by inappropriate temperature and moisture levels.

NATIVE & STANDALONE APPLE WATCH APP Leave your iPhone behind without losing your data. SensorPull for Apple Watch is fully independent, allowing you to authenticate directly from your wrist.

ZERO-FRICTION SIRI INTEGRATION Get hands-free climate updates from across the room or on your drive home via CarPlay.

DEEP HISTORICAL CHARTS & INSIGHTS Never lose your climate history. SensorPull automatically caches your SensorPush historical log directly on your device.

POWER-USER DATA EXPORTS Take full control of your climate tracking. Open any sensor data log as a raw spreadsheet directly within the app, or export your full history as a standard CSV file to analyze in Microsoft Excel, Apple Numbers, or your preferred data science tools. GLANCEABLE HOME & LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS Stay informed with customizable iOS widgets available in multiple sizes (small, medium, large, and extra-large) and Lock Screen complications (inline, circular, and rectangular). Configure separate widgets for different environments so your nursery, wine cellar, and greenhouse data each have a dedicated space. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your environmental data is your business. SensorPull operates with absolute privacy: no user tracking, zero advertisements, and no third-party telemetry. Authentication is handled directly via SensorPush's own secure login page. SensorPull never sees or stores your password. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS SensorPull is a companion utility for SensorPush hardware. To use this application, you must have active SensorPush sensors, a valid user account, and an active SensorPush G1 WiFi Gateway to transmit data over the cloud. New to SensorPush or need to expand your setup or buy hardware? Explore the sensors and gateway here: https://link.amazon/B056tP4Zm Note about Widgets: Apple limits background refresh schedules to conserve device battery, capping updates at roughly 40 to 70 times per day (every 15 to 60 minutes). Because of this system limitation, widgets can occasionally display delayed readings. For guaranteed up-to-date data, always open the SensorPull app directly or glance at the live Mac menu bar.
