Sen.se Launches ThermoPeanut™ the Hottest IoT Sensor on the Market

“SensePeanuts are designed to bring people the benefits of smart life automation without the need for costly or complicated solutions. We are thrilled to launch ThermoPeanut as the first in the line,” said Rafi Haladjian, Founder and CEO of Sen.se. “Whether you are monitoring room temperatures, making sure your refrigerator is cooling properly or keeping a server room at an optimal level, ThermoPeanut takes the guess work out of temperature tracking and thanks to integrations with partners such as NEST and IFTTT, allows users to take action when issues arise.”

ThermoPeanut is now available and will be joined in Q4 2016 by SensePeanuts that can monitor sleep and track medication, as well as smart buttons that that give everyday items super smart powers.

How it Works

With ThermoPeanut, anyone from tech enthusiasts to novices can track the temperature of any space including bedrooms, pet kennels, refrigerators, basements, campsites and more. The two inch sensor simply connects via Bluetooth 4.0 to smartphones and tablets via its dedicated iOS or Android app. Once registered, ThermoPeanut can be secured to any surface and the ideal temperate range for the area programmed within the app.

ThermoPeanut measures temperatures ranging -5°F to 140°F / -20°C to 60°C and will take readings at desired intervals. Results are sent to any registered device within 200 feet of its location or stored for up to a month for later transfer when not in range. In app messages and sound notifications from the ThermoPeanut itself alert users when temperature readings are outside preset norms. Temperature status can also be checked anytime without a device by pressing the ThermoPeanut, which will play a sound to indicate if the space is too hot or cold or within desired levels.

Devil’s in the Data

Unlike other temperature tracking devices, ThermoPeanut connects directly to the SensePeanut app without the need for hubs or gateways. Through the app, the entire family can access current and recent temperature readings, view graphs that showcase trends over time and even identify optimal temperature ranges for the desired tracked space.

Advance Features

• Tracking and notification frequency – The frequency of temperature readings and app alerts can be personalized to preference from every three minutes up to one hour.
• Third party interventions – ThermoPeanuts can connect to both Nest and IFTTT, allowing users to go a step further in creating a connected home, by setting rules so the temperature automatically adjusts based on ThermoPeanut’s readings and the set criteria.
• Calibration – Users can adjust the measurements of the sensor to make them the most accurate for a tracked environment.
• Setting options – Through the app, sound alerts can be turned off and on, settings can be reset and collected temperature data can be downloaded and shared.
• Data exports – It offers unlimited data storage within the secure cloud that can also be exported to excel and CSV files.
• Multiple devices – Each ThermoPeanut can be paired with multiple smartphones and tablets.
• Home hubs – As any smartphone or tablet can be used as a hub, ThermoPeanut can provide actionable data and alerts to multiple users even when they are miles from home.
