About this app

In version 3 more than 80% of this app is rewritten in native code to present a modern, smooth user interface familiar to anybody who use Android phones, including:

- Drawer style navigation to switch tag managers, go to account options, login/logout/new account, or add new tags.
- Swipe left/right to change between trend, event, and the familiar full featured web interface screens
- After in event screen the motion events are loaded, they will be overlaid on trend screen similar to iOS version of this app, to allow identifying reason behind temperature/humidity changes (such as door open/close).
- Quick navigation from trend screen by tapping on a tag to open its option buttons in web interface, or by tapping on the trend graph to open full graph for viewing, CSV data download or sharing.
- Unified search bar with search scope tabs similar to iOS version of this app, to quickly focus on tags of certain name/comment or in certain state (e.g. hot hoot), as well as events of certain category (e.g. motion, temperature, RH, etc) from tags with certain name. This works for web, trend and event section similarly.
- New 64-bit OpenGLES graphics code for charting, including new features such as log scale for lux chart, and faster loading using less network data through compression, and fluid scrolling similar to iOS version of this app.

- When app is launched and previously web interface is not selected, launch will be much quicker than the old app as only native portion of the app will be loaded. For viewing event and temperature data, there will be no need to load the non-native HTML part of the app.

Similar to the old version, by installing the app on your Android device, you will be able to receive push notification message on your Android phones and tablets.

Ratings and reviews

*****review updated**** This issue has been corrected. I use these tags everyday to monitor a remote location for temperature, motion and humidity. The fact that they integrate so well with IFTTT is a great plus and I use that functionality often to have the tags trigger my other smart devices. I would give them 5 stars except that we go through batteries very quickly. I I don't understand why the water sensor has a battery that cannot be changed ( I did manage to pry out the dead battery without breaking the sensor and replacing it a number of times). If I had not been able to do that successfully I would have had to buy new water sensors at least five times over the past two years. Lastly I have just upgraded my phone to a Moto G7 Google Fi Phone running Android 9 and the widget does not show up in the list of available widgets .

Great app and product. Only reason gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is the operation of app is kind of awkward, imop. Certainly does the job. Lots of info. But temp alarms, distance from wifi serviceand notifications/alarms are all better than anything I have found. Battery life in tag is about 6 months, so if your away, make sure to have some extra batteries and someone to change them in your absence from your home.

I bought these after seeing my father's setup and the sensors are really nice and universal. The app needs some work - formatting isn't great and things aren't as intuitive as I'd like to see. Moving things around a bit and some basic theming would go a long way to improving the feel. Overall I'm very happy with both app and sensors. Thanks!

What’s new

Fixed compatibility issue with Android 14 (API level 34) that causes newly installed app to not being able to ask for push notification permission.
Before this update, notification categories like "Too hot/cold", "Motion/door events" are created the first time a push message arrives, with user specified sound. But Android 14 expects apps to create category ahead of time before being able to request push notification permission. Therefore a default sound is now assigned to each category.
