Inkbird temp and RH logger IBS-TH1 mini

[Deleted member cpr]

I just got my hands on these bluetooth temp and humidity loggers and thought I'd share.

They cost about $35 each and run off an app which seems OK but not great. I'm hopeful that the will give me a better idea of what's going on than the single max min unit that I use at the moment.

Looks like a great product, keen to see how they go

There great , and you can get a extention lead that plugs into them , that's that headphone jack, To place over the canopy , used them for years. Only problem I found I'd it slows downloading the historical data, after a few months.. When battery is low, or the could just be my device I use to take the reads off.. but really good for a quick check without opening up everything.

I've read that with the more expensive loggers you are paying a lot extra for the software.

Think that makes a big diff coops having shittier software? I know you haven't tested the fancier versions.

Do the batteries last for a while? Mine are the ultra basic ones, there are no ports for external probes. Mine have been sitting on the deck for a few hours, the air feels like soup and the gadgets agree.

Yeah 6 months, depends on batteries and how often u press that diagram button, it will go and download the historical data to the device

does it have to be smart phone and not average win10 pc...?

I still use the old 'inkbird' STC 1000 & and 2000 temp contollers

 

[Kloud9]

Both I think, and mac app

These things are proving very handy for me. Im learning lots from the numbers, hopefully I can use them to make more buds

The software is useable but weak. The charts are extremely basic. It won't show multiple probes on the same chart, nor will it combine temp and RH on the same chart. I think Frank said it well, the software will make or break it and the software here could be so much more useful. Having said that I still really like them.

Way to go, mate.

Been collecting this sort of data manually (since mid 00's) using basic thermometers/hydrometers planted all over the place. It's a pretty good way of gauging how the grow space is performing and stave off/monitor any potential problems that may arise.

Cheers, coops. I think you've found a new chrissy present that i'll shout myself.
