Product review (5 stars): Surprisingly accurate and reliable; a good solution
Ok, so I probably did more research on temp sensors than is appropriate. I read EVERYTHING and considered all the options - wifi monitoring, bluetooth... I tried the SensePeanut - that sucked. I just wanted something that actually worked. I mean, I thought to myself, how hard is it to design a sensor that just worked? And, I read the mediocre reviews of this unit on here and was extremely hesitant. I am a computer programmer by profession and have been very interested in IFTT, but also extending it into multiple conditions (not just the 'if this, then that,' but 'if this and this, then that'). However, this unit isn't IFTT ready, right? Wrong. Because of its robust - and surprisingly reliable email alerts - it is quite easy to have a gmail trigger in IFTT sense when an email is sent. And the unit itself? It is actually extremely accurate and reliable. I did have some initial setup difficulty (which could be a bit problematic for someone without a technical background). However, after getting it setup, the sensor has not let me down. I have a disability that is temperature sensitive, so I need reliable and accurate monitoring. Surprisingly, unexpectedly - the La Crosse sensor has met my needs and more.
