Simple Wifi Air monitor recommendations Temp and Humidity

[bigealta]

Can anyone recommend a simple reliable air monitor that connects to wifi. I need to Track the temperatures (for freeze warnings) and humidity to track dehumidification. This is for a house basement on Block island. The house is 4 hours and a ferry away from home so we want freeze warnings or temperature tracking and humidity tracking as we will be adding dehumidifiers and need to know the humidity levels over time.
The climate is super humid and damp and thus we have mold issues.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

This is the one I have:

WiFi Hygrometer Thermometer IBS-TH3 WIFI PLUS

INKBIRD IBS-TH3 Plus are hygrometer thermometers that support WiFi connectivity. Temperature and humidity can be remotely monitored through the APP, and up to 30,000 records can be viewed and exported. The Plus version is equipped with digital display and rechargeable battery.

That looks like just what we need. Thanks.

We have an older model that is similar to Whiteknuckler posted. Been about 18 months since purchase and has been working flawlessly. On the remote sensors ours came with external probes, really handy when monitoring a fridge/freezer combination, the sensor goes in the fridge and the probe goes in the freezer.

The base station(ours) only displays 3 sensors, we have 5 so you have to use your phone to view the additional 2 sensors.

The graphics aren’t the best but work. The user can’t change the graph scale.

Home screen:


Monthly on the “Outside Sensor”

It would be nice if the software would allow the user to show the entire month’s data, on ours you have to scroll thru each couple of days time period. I can export the data and run it through a spreadsheet which would give me a monthly graph on one page, I haven’t bothered.

I have about $100 invested in the whole setup. Well worth the money IMHO.

I have inkbird temperature controllers for brewing also. The product support is good. If it breaks they will send you another if under warranty. I also have a BBq 4 Channel thermometer. It's only bluetooth, but nice to have to measure meat temp and smoker temp.

I’m impressed with the electronics, often not said with Chinese electronics in my experiences.

I would look into a whole house dehumidifier connected to an ecobe thermostat. The ecobee can control the dehumidifier. Not cheap but well worth it. Now the tstat measures both and but you can get remote temp sensors. Maybe they have humidity one too.

I use the Govee home app and sensors. They need WiFi, but you can see temps/humidity anywhere from your phone and there’s no monthly charge.

The sensors have batteries in them and communicate to a wall hub that’s plugged into an outlet, so they can also be used to monitor chest freezers or put right near a wall penetration/cold spot.
