Humidity and temperature monitors are a great way to ensure that the temperature is the exact one that you’re trying to achieve (say, if you want to have a specific temperature for your shop or salon). They can even alert in case of fires or potential heat waves.

Temperature and humidity monitor devices detect, measure, and display the temperature and the moisture within the room so you can keep track of your surroundings at all times. These monitors are widely available on the market with up to a thousand different styles and features. Some monitors may even include tracking of the daily high and low temperatures. Others may display the time as well. Many include email alerts and messages so you can be warned when the temperature or humidity is beyond average.

 

Below are the top 6 temperature and humidity monitor devices which we recommend the most.

Proteus Humidity & Temperature Monitor – Our Pick

The reason why we chose the Proteus temperature and humidity monitor to be at the very top of our list is that we felt that the entire design and concept was beyond modernism. In the Proteus, we saw a futuristic Wifi compatible system which could send text alerts to your phone in case the temperature or humidity went towards their extremes. It’s also an extremely accurate device which is the best choice for any workspace or house.

Features:

• Wi-Fi
• Sends regular notifications and alerts
• Doesn’t need any hubs or gateways
• Improves accuracy

Text Alerts:

Suppose if the temperature is drastically falling below your set limit or if the atmosphere is getting too dry for your spa to function. The Proteus keeps a daily record of the temperature and sends regular alerts to your phone in case the temperature gets out of hand. The same works with humidity.

Accuracy:

The Proteus temperature and humidity monitor is most loved for its accuracy and easy readability. This device has been engineered by some of the best engineers in town, so you know that the readings are correct. Moreover, the readings correlated to however much we set it on our thermostats.

Sensor Sticks Out:

We’ve mentioned this before. Basically, the sensor of the temperature and humidity monitor sticks out about 3 inches from the surface of the device. In this way, you’re able to get the most accurate readings. This also gives the Proteus a better “view” of the atmosphere and keeps the accuracy maximal.

Pros:

• Extremely accurate and to-the-point readings. No inaccuracy or instrumental errors.
• Very small yet effective.
• Can send text alerts to your smartphone, tablet, or PC so you can be aware of drastic changes in your surrounding at all times.
• Functions smoothly without frequent breakdowns or interruptions.
• Does not require any additional hubs or gateways. Just connect to the Wifi and you’re good to go.
• Sensor sticks out 3 inches so the temperature and humidity readings are accurate.

Cons:

• Overheats very easily.

SensorPush Thermometer & Hygrometer – Runner-up

The SensorPush makes its way to the second position on our list. The reason why we chose this to be the second best-featured product is that, just like the first one, this too can be connected via the Wifi to a smartphone or tablet, and is even compatible with iOS devices such as the iPhone and iPad. We love diversity, and that is mainly why this temperature and humidity monitor is number two.

Features:

• Requires a SensorPush gateway
• Compatible with Android and iOS.
• Sends alerts to the phone
• Swiss-made components
• Very portable
• Has a very powerful range

Diverse Compatibility:

The SensorPush temperature and humidity monitor is compatible with both iOS devices (iPhones, iPads, Mac Computers, etc.) and Android devices (Motorola, Samsung, Alcatel). This means that you don’t have to worry about the OS compatibility, although the other system requirements might not be fulfilled.

Alert Messages:

This monitor frequently sends alerts as well as daily reports to your phone or tablet and lets you be in control of what you want to see and know. You can choose to opt out of the notifications or set it to just send security and safety emails. Truly, the options are limitless.

Swiss-Made Accuracy:

Although we trust only the best brands, there’s something about Swiss-made technology that we just can’t get over. This temperature and humidity monitor is the best way to ensure that you are getting the most accurate readings. The sensors are very precise and picky, and only give you the most close-to-correct readings, free from errors and deviations.

Pros:

• A great temperature and humidity monitor that send alerts to your smartphone or tablet.
• Does not overheat or lose connection strength over time.
• Is compatible with iPhones, iPads, Apple computers and laptops, Android smartphones like Motorola, Samsung, Blackberry, Lenovo, and Windows laptops and PCs.
• Compact and portable.
• Does not take up much space.
• Very easy to hold and disassemble.

Cons:

• Requires a gateway to connect to your phone. This can be seen as a downside since having to spend extra can be a menace.

Truly, it is so much more diverse than a simple monitor. It also monitors the amount of dew and precipitation.

Portable and Compact:

The Tempo Disc is best known for its unique futuristic design. The entire product looks as minimal as can be, and does not take up a lot of space, unlike most other monitors. It remains relatively flat and can easily be held or placed in one place. It doesn’t even have a power cord.

Powered By Battery:

One other unique thing about the Tempo Disc is that it is powered by a rechargeable and replaceable battery. This means that you don’t have to worry about the power going out, and certainly not about electricity bills and energy wastage.

The Inkbird has a very wide connectivity range. Say you want to get readings from someplace far away from your home. The hub allows the Inkbird temperature and humidity monitor to send readings and data up to 150 feet away. This is the equivalent of 50 meters, and we’re definitely in love with it.
