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.
