About this app

To avoid having to search for this app again later I suggest you bookmark this page.

This Android application is used to monitor the temperature of a room like a server room, Hydroponics lab, greenhouse or outside in a crop field. Anywhere you need to monitor temperature. The app will dial a number or sound an alarm if the temperature reaches user specified levels. It can be used as a frost alarm alert system. Or as an overheat alarm. The length of time it will dial can be set to a specified amount of seconds. No billing needs to occur that way, it will only dial and then hang up after x amount of seconds. It will also give a battery low alert at a specified level.

The app uses the device's ambient temperature sensor if present else it will use the battery temperature sensor. Please notice that if it is using the battery temperature sensor that the reading is only accurate if:

The device is not under charge.
The device is not drawing a lot of power from the battery.
Leave the screen turned off else the power drawn will affect the reading.

The battery temperature sensor will only give an accurate reflection of the ambient temperature under those specified conditions.

We also have a Temperature Monitor app available for reading the temperature and battery level via Wifi on a second android Device . https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.infomultiverse.tempmonitor

Ratings and reviews

It works well for what I need, but there are a few things I'd change: First, I found out that it won't dial out if the alarm box is not checked. Either make dialing out independent of the alarm (preferred), or gray out the dial out option if the alarm is turned off, so people don't have the false impression that it will dial out. Second, turning down the alarm volume turns down the master volume on the phone, so I can't hear other apps. Please make it work independently. Thank you.

Hooray! Got updated! A marvelous app! Although it's completely simple, but the solitary in its kind. While I looked for an equal substitute, which, by the way, hasn't been found at all, my battery twice found itself in conditions being heated up to 48°C. It's very pity for me the app crashed when started and I'm too glad it's recovered its functionality.

The app works almost perfectly. The problem i have is with the alarm. When you set an alarm sound, it works, but once you click stop alarm, it doesn't turn on again unless you manually set an alarm sound again. Appart from that, i have a suggestion: once the issue above is resolved, it would be nice if there is an option that the alarm turns on only when the phone is not in use, with a 15 to 30 min buffer giving time for it to cool down.
