Wireless Acurites?

[alittleFREE]

Soooooooo

Apologies for needing EVEN more clarification here guys ....

As I'm kinda struggling to understand the concept or use for these stand alone thermometers.

You guys are simply using these to get AMBIENT temps of the surrounding air in the viv ? Yes ?


THEN checking the more CRUCIAL temps of the floor SURFACE areas with a digital temp gun !?!

I can't see how those stand alone thermometers can give ACCURATE temps of the surface temp under the warm hide ..

----/--

Now if there's a new gadget that has a separate little probe that can be hot glued into place under the warm hide and then wirelessly transfers data to the main unit .... I'd be interested myself BUT so far I've not come across any .
I did try one of the links above but the link doesn't work in the UK sadly .

I've always used these gadgets for surface temps ( 4 dollars off eBay) and regularly check all surface temps with a digital temp gun .
Similar ones give a choice of C or F ..the little probe is hot glued onto the floor surface under the warm hide ( the crucial temp to worry about ) .





Hopefully someone can put me straight as regards these wireless gadgets !!!

I fear that newbies will be using them to set their thermostats ( if they have one ... )




HELP !!!

Yes, I’m talking about using this to measure ambient temps and humidity. I check surface temps with a temp gun regularly and have all heat sources on thermostats.

What I’m planning to do is get the version that has a display unit and a wireless probe (about the size/shape of a USB drive). Then I’ll secure the probe Somewhere in the enclosure, and have the display unit in my
Bedroom where I can check ambients/humidity at my leisure, without having a big unit and bundle of wires etc in my cages.
