Abstract
A temperature and humidity monitoring system is disclosed, comprising an ambient sensing device with sensors for temperature, humidity, accelerometer, and light, all connected to a processor and electronic storage unit. The system also includes a networking device for wireless data transmission to a remote device. Additionally, a remote probe may be provided. The remote probe may communicate with the processor to transmit data including ambient and probe temperature, humidity, accelerometer, and light measurements. The processor may store and retrieve data for transmission to the remote device and can send alerts based on predefined event parameters.
Claims21
An ambient sensing device, comprising:
- an ambient temperature sensor;
- an ambient humidity sensor;
- an accelerometer;
- a light sensor;
- a processor in electronic communication with the ambient temperature sensor, the ambient humidity sensor, the accelerometer, and the light sensor;
