Claim 0:
1. A method for wireless temperature logging of a dishwasher wash cycle, comprising:
generating an initiation signal indicative of a start of the wash cycle, when a temperature sensed by a temperature sensor of a dishwasher thermometer positioned within the dishwasher is above a predefined temperature threshold, wherein the dishwasher thermometer is a unitary item configured to be removably placed in a washing chamber of the dishwasher;
triggering a data logger to start monitoring the temperature sensor in response to the initiation signal;
capturing a maximum temperature during the wash cycle sensed by the temperature sensor;
transmitting, via a wireless communications interface of the dishwasher thermometer, the maximum temperature to a device remote from the dishwasher thermometer using a transceiver in the dishwasher;
generating a cycle end signal in response to the detection of a temperature by the temperature sensor below a predefined threshold after receipt of the initiation signal;
causing the data logger to stop monitoring the temperature sensor in response to the cycle end signal;
generating an alert signaling that the maximum temperature does not reach a predefined threshold during the wash cycle;
transmitting, via the wireless communication interface, the alert to the transceiver in the dishwasher; and
automatically rerunning the dishwasher wash cycle in response to the alert.
