I would like to see an 8 probe unit. To me the accuracy needs to be at least +/- 1ºF I'd like to see 0.5º but the additional cost of that .5 is likely to place the unit over the top expense wise.
I have a major beef with all the current thermometers and for that matter t-stats on the market The probe shape. I get the ease of casting and sensor but I think a oblong or flat probe would be better than a round one.
I think that a 'dream' unit would have high low tracking daily and over all high low. The highest and lowest temp recorded today and the highest and lowest recorded between user resets. I would also like to see a differential alarm added. If the temp rises or lowers to fast an alarm is tripped. IE if the thermometer notes a faster than 1º per min change from the previous one an alarm is tripped.
Since I am dreaming still a web interface that allows the values to be checked via a java or similar universal web interface. The ability to send email or text messages if the thermometer is beyond a given range per probe would be a great addition too.
Dream big right?
can you do that for 50$...
Ok I would be willing to pay 200$ for such a best even 1º accuracy and the ability to check the temps remotely via internet would be enough. 300$ maybe hard to say but at that I think it is a hard sell. i might pay more myself but I think those that would are few and far between.
FYI IR guns are no more accurate than the cheap thermometers few are rated for better than +/-2ºF.
