Saelig Introduces Wi-Fi Temperature and Humidity Data Logging Sensor

By DE Editors

Saelig's new EL-WiFi-TH is a Wi-Fi-connected temperature and humidity sensor for monitoring the environment in which it is situated. Data is transmitted wirelessly via an 802.11b-compliant network to a PC and can be viewed using the free graphical software package supplied.

The EL-WiFi-TH can be placed anywhere within range of a chosen network, the company says. If the sensor should temporarily lose connectivity with the network, it will log readings until it is able to communicate again with the PC application. Additionally, the range of the sensor can be increased by using Wi-Fi extenders.

The EL-WiFi-TH is a low-power device that includes a rechargeable internal lithium polymer battery. When configured using typical sampling periods (e.g., once every 60 seconds) the sensor will operate for more than one year. The battery can then be recharged via a PC or USB +5V wall adapter using the USB cable provided. The included PC software will allow set-up, data logging, and data review for multiple sensors, including immediate graphing of historic data. The sensor features a built-in LCD screen, which can display Max and Min readings, Low Battery indication, and Wi-Fi connection strength.

The unit is supplied with wall bracket and micro USB cable.
