Saelig Introduces WiFi Temperature & Humidity Data Logging Sensor

August 7, 2012

Pittsford, NY, USA: Saelig Company, Inc. has introduced theEL-WiFi-TH – a WiFi-connected temperature and humidity sensor for monitoring the environment in which it is situated. Data is transmitted wirelessly via a 802.11b-compliant network to a PC and can be viewed using the free graphical software package supplied. The EL-WiFi-TH can be placed anywhere within range of a chosen network. If the sensor should temporarily lose connectivity with the network, it will log readings until it is able to communicate again with the PC application (max 60 days at 10 second sample interval). Additionally, the range of the sensor can be increased by … Read More → "Saelig Introduces WiFi Temperature & Humidity Data Logging Sensor"
