Thermostats have gotten seriously smart in the last decade. While they’re a great improvement over traditional thermostats, smart thermostats still cannot affect air distribution across a building to adjust for hot or cold spots, leaving a lot to be desired in terms of making the home a comfortable place.

This product measures relative humidity and temperature in the range of minus 40° to 180°C (40° to 356°F) and calculates further physical quantities such as dew point temperature, absolute humidity, or mixing ratio.

It features a polymer capacitance humidity sensor in order to deliver a proportional analog output, and models can be configured with a 2 or 3 percent accuracy.

Despite the availability of quality Wi-Fi enabled products from leading thermostat manufacturers, a mere 10 to 15 percent of residential and light commercial installations involve such models. The primary objection: a wholesale price point that is four to five times the cost of a traditional thermostat.

The product works like a thermostat and can measure the output of almost any analog sensor. It has the ability to work with a wide variety of possible sensor inputs, such as ultrasonic distance, temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, and more.
