GaugeRemote

GaugeRemote is the remote control for the Retrotec DM-32 digital pressure and flow gauge, used for blower door and duct leakage testing. It shows the gauge's own screens, live, on your iPhone or iPad, and lets you work the gauge from across the building: โข Live pressure, flow and fan readings, exactly as the gauge shows them โข Set fan speed or a target pressure, nudge it up or down, and stop the fan โข Choose the fan model, range, display mode, time averaging and baseline โข Settings pages, @Pressure and the gauge's Diagnostics page (battery, network, link and firmware details) โข The gauge's own language: English, German, French or Spanish โข A link-health view that tells you plainly when the connection is weak and what to do How it connects GaugeRemote talks to the gauge over your local Wi-Fi network, or over the gauge's own Wi-Fi access point (its network name is DM32- followed by the gauge's serial number). It finds DM-32 gauges on the network by itself and remembers the ones you used. It needs a Retrotec DM-32 gauge with firmware 3.0; firmware 3.0 Builds 26 to 28 do not work over Wi-Fi, so update the gauge to the 3.0 release (free, with Retrotec's DM-32 Firmware Update page). It does not work with other gauges, including the DM32X. Try it without a gauge The connection screen's Simulator option runs a built-in simulated DM-32, so you can explore every screen first. Privacy GaugeRemote collects no personal data. It has no accounts, no analytics and no ads, and it talks only to your gauge on the local network. The few settings it keeps (the gauges you connected to and display preferences) stay on your device. Support: support@retrotec.com
