Multiple report types. Great information. inexpensive. I have used this to track issues in several buildings. Couldn't have found the problems without this data logger.

This is a quite simple temperature logger. Many of these originated during Covid to record the temperature of vaccine shipment and guarantee that the temperature was maintained throughout the shipment. That is the reason these have the stop disabled by default and barcode. Of course, there are many other uses for these but that is the original intention, so don't complain about that.This logger does what it says. The parameters can be set/changed from the software which is simple and intuitive. However, I had few times when the software didn't recognize the device and had to reconnect it. Other than that the device logged the temperature well at set interval. Temperature accuracy seemed fine. In my test it didn't fail once when used from -20°C to +50°C. Getting the report in CSV or PDF without the software is good option.Overall it work as intended, you should know its intended purpose and your use case.

The basic functions on this data logger work well, but in order to get all the bells and whistles, you need to download their software. Husband is not a fan of downloading random stuff, but even so, he did. If you want to set your time zone and temperature scale, among other things, you do need the software. The device seems to be well made, with a protective rubber cap.

Works great, high accuracy, and love that it also collects humidity data. If you're looking for a temperature logger this is a great choice. There are also a lot of customization options if you download the frigga software (change the units F/C and set the recording delay).

My dad uses this for HVAC repair and it works well.

This is a very physically robust data logger. I especially like the tethered cap---some people said it gets in the way but I just use a USB extension cable, I'll accept that inconvenience for the protection of the cap.When you plug it in, it gives you the data files. The software, like someone else mentioned, is somewhat awkward to use. It's not strictly necessary to use it unless you need to modify parameters like enabling the STOP button, setting temp units, and date format. You'll probably want to do the first one, at the very least. At 700+ MB, it is oddly large. Attached is a screenshot of the software. I had put the logger in my fridge for a few days. You can see the very regular temperature cycles from when the compressor kicks in, and the more irregular humidity ones.The included manual, to be frank, sucks. It isn't very informative at all. The online one is better but they should include something decent in the box. The logger sometimes has problems registering button presses, I think this is a product of the ruggedized housing.The included battery was a Panasonic CR2450. The battery compartment has an O-ring which makes it kinda hard to open but I'm glad the O-ring is there for water resistance.Would I recommend? Eh, I don't know--neutral to very weakly recommend perhaps.

The data logger itself seems to be nicely made and does a good job, but you really need the Frigga software app to change operating parameters of the logger. And the software is flawed.As it is, the logger starts logging after you hold the START button for five seconds and then after a 30 m delay. I prefer a shorter startup delay, but you need the software to control that. The STOP button is disabled by default so that the logger cannot be accidentally stopped. You stop it by plugging it into the USB port of your computer, and then the logger generates report files that can be accessed just like you would from a flash drive.I let the logger run overnight and then plugged it into my M1MacBook Pro. As soon as I did that, the logger stopped logging and generated a .pdf report and a .csv file that I could open in a spreadsheet. That was all fine.And as for the software, it’s a bit kludgy to be generous. I tried it on my Mac and I’ll say that, at least the application was available for the Mac and not just for Windoze, so I appreciate that. But after downloading software from the App store (and as of the available version 1.01 at the time of this writing) – the software pops a dialog box asking you to download and install an additional and undocumented piece of software.It more than requests, rather - it insists. The dialog automatically downloads this installer, even if you click on the CANCEL button! And that dialog box pops up again, each time you click cancel, you get another copy of this undocumented software.And since I don’t know what the software does, and it’s not been vetted by the Apple store, I did not run the installer (which I think might be some communications component). I ended up with a bunch of these installers that I had to throw in the trash.All that said – without installing that additional piece of software, the main Frigga application still did allow me to interact with the data logger and control settings such as the startup delay, Fahrenheit / Celsius, time zone, etc., so I don’t know why it is so insistent that I install that bit of undocumented software. It worked enough for me to set the parameters I wanted. But I don’t plan to use the software again.The hardware dongle itself seems to be rugged and I think it’s a nice logger. In my experience, many of these types of imported data products fail when it comes to software and this one is no exception.The little instruction booklet is not terribly useful, but there is a reasonable instruction manual available on-line, despite parts where there are poor translations. I give the company credit for that.I think that this product has the potential to be a pretty nice data logger if they can work out the kinks in the software and improve the usability a little bit.
