This device is junk and I do not recommend. The Windows software will not run on my computer that is running Windows 11. I search for some troubleshoot guides and found 3 versions of software. None of them worked. I messaged the company and did not get any response.

I ordered this temperature data logger to monitor the heat load coming from attic spaces. In a perfect world, the air temperature in an attic would be the same as the ambient air temperature. An unventilated attic can reach 150 degrees in the summer heat, which is 50 degrees higher than it should be. An overheated attic makes your air conditioner work harder, wasting energy and raising electric bills. This device records attic temperatures so I can quantify the improvement of venting modifications.Its three unique features that immediately caught my attention set this product apart.First and foremost, this device is reusable, unlike some temperature loggers, which are one-time use only.Second, the external probe can be introduced into the attic space through a hatch or hidden stairway, allowing the logger to reside inside the air-conditioned space.Thirdly, the ease of setting up and operating this device is a significant advantage. The clear LCD screen provides real-time monitoring, and the recorded temperatures can be easily downloaded for analysis. This straightforward process gives me confidence in using the device and interpreting the data it provides.My experience with this temperature data logger has been superb. During my first project, I quantified the improvement of solar attic ventilators and soffit vents. As each improvement was installed, I could measure the before and after attic temperatures, which showed how much the attic temperature was reduced. The first solar attic ventilator reduced the temperature by 15 degrees. The second ventilator reduced the attic temperature by an additional 7.5 degrees. Soffit vents reduced the attic temperature by another 10 degrees.This product is a solid performer, and I am delighted to have it. A second device would help me measure ambient temperature to improve my analysis further.

I like how easily you can get this going and getting the results from an area we need to keep cool. It's nice and small because it uses a small coin cell battery so it can quite literally go anywhere out of the way. The simple start and stop can't get much more user friendly. After you've recorded some you have options for output. I like the csv option for something I can feed into other things but it's great that they have a PDF as well which is perfect if you need to share it with someone as anyone can understand it. The best part is the fact that it is reusable because it always felt wasteful using the disposable ones each time.

The first time I used this, it worked great. The log that it generated was useful. The log is in both PDF and CSV formats, making it easy to take the raw numbers and feed them into a spreadsheet.After that first use, it went downhill. The app for Mac OS is 4 years old and (currently) has a 2 star rating.The features are very limited without the app, and the manual was not particularly helpful. It tells you what buttons to press and what the corresponding pattern of blinking LEDs should be, but when I followed the instructions I got a pattern not mentioned in the manual.The product page says you can hold the stop button for 5 seconds to reset the recorder, but the manual says you need the app to clear the data. It says you should be able to at least restart it and keep recording. However, I was unable to get that to work.I even tried taking the battery out to reset it, but still couldn't get it to reset.I understand that they want you to install their app, but the product page makes it look like you can use some functions without the app. That was the appeal to me of this product, that I could use it to log temperature data and then download it as a CSV. Unfortunately, I was just not able to get this to reliably work.

Everything you need to know. Simple setup. Automatic report with graph and data in PDF. Just awesome, perfect!

I'm impressed with how simple it is to operate this datalogger. Just plug it into a computer, wait for the light to stop flashing, and you have easy to read CSV and PDF files ready to go. These files contain a full printout of each measurement, as well as min/max/average readings, and how many times temperature and humidity fell outside of the alarm conditions set. The PDF also contains line charts, and any readings outside of your set points are highlighted either red or blue.Starting and stopping logging is also easy. Just press the start button to wake the unit, then press and hold it to start recording. To stop, you press and hold the stop button. Or, you can set start/stop timers for some automation. Short pressing the start button cycles the screen through current readings, min/max/avg, and other data. A large X appears in the upper corner of the screen if temp/humidity have gone outside of your alarm thresholds.Unfortunately, you do need the PC software to set the clock and change change any settings, like recording interval. It's pretty intuitive and works well, and offers some other data export features. I do wish you could do without the program, but it does at least prevent somebody from inadvertently or maliciously changing settings. The application lets you disable the stop button on the unit, to prevent tampering.Build quality is very good. The whole unit feels rock solid, and the USB port cover has a rubber seal to keep water out of it.It's a nice unit, and certainly simple to use. I've had more expensive loggers feel much more cheaply built, so I'm also quite happy with the price.
