Ubibot WS1 WiFi Temperature Sensor, Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer, Humidity Monitor, Remote Data Logger with Free App Email Alerts, IFTTT Thermometer,(2.4GHz WiFi only,no hub required)

Bought this to monitor my cryptomining farm as I liked the idea of getting alerts when temperatures got too high so I could shutdown equipment remotely. Note that this has to be combined with a smart plug to actually shut the equipment down. It was so easy to setup (on my old iPhone 5C and iPad 2) and I have added temperature probes and powered all sensors apart from the outside one by USB which means no battery issues. The app is really good compared to others allowing pictures to be downloaded to identify where the device are and a great dashboard where you can see the current status of all devices. A more detailed charts section shows temperature, light, voltage, wifi and humidity graphs over a custom or default time period with min and max values. I have contacted Yang who offered support for when the USB splitter for the device was going to be available and discussed app improvements and he got back to me in a matter of hours. I am looking forward to future minor app updates to make this even better. A great device for remote monitoring which is better than anything else I saw available and has not disappointed. I have several of these devices now inside and outside the house (with protective cover) and am very pleased with the results.

This little device packs a lot of features although I only need it for temperature and humidity. Setup was straightforward and I was online with the UbiBot Cloud free service in no time. One thing to remember, and the FAQs on this device do point out is the initial setup generates heat so it will take a few minutes for this to settle and for the ambient reading to then start to appear. I had a minor issue with my device to do with the batteries draining quicker than normal. Yang at UbiBot support could not have been more helpful and diagnosed the problem quickly and replaced the unit without fuss. Excellent customer service when I needed it most over and above the fact that the device itself is superb. I look forward to being able to integrate with IFTTT to help trigger smart plug actions to switch on/off my radiator. UPDATE: IFTTT integration now available and it works like a dream - if the UbiBot sensor detects my room temperature is above a set range, instead of just alerting me it now turns off my Meross Smartplug. Similarly if the sensor detects the temperature has fallen below a threshold it can switch my smart plug on. This was the missing link for me and now that its here it makes the device indispensable in helping me mange the temp/humidity without a need to physically be in the room to switch devices off and on. The heater itself has a thermostat but there are no numbers on the dial so I am always guessing. This way I can have a variety of applets for a variety of use cases such as just keeping the cold and dampness away whilst I'm not in the room for an extended period of time or applets that work for me whilst in the room.

I ordered 2 WS1s which arrived very promptly. I downloaded the PC app to configure them and all went according to plan. The app on my phone was configured to view the results and they started feeding data to the app fine. Both WS1s kept stopping uploading data and their icons on the phone app went grey when this happened. I raised a ticket for this, as I thought it was a bit odd. The technical support you get by raising a ticket on the phone app is brilliant - they must be abroad because answers were always over night. The advice was to supply an external usb power source as sometimes the battery power is insufficient. This was very inconvenient in one of the places I wanted the sensor as there was no mains power. It transpired that , in fact, these things do keep going off line for some reason - that seems to be normal- but they should go back on line within a couple of hours - and there should be no data loss as they save the data internally and upload it when they can. One of my WS1s kept going off line more than the other and sometimes didn't recover. The very helpful guys at the end of the problem ticket system acknowledged that it looked like this particular device was faulty - and sent me a replacement within 2 days! I have concluded that if the wifi signal is quite weak then the devices need the external usb power supply but if they are close to your wifi hotspot then they are OK on batteries. Do however expect them to go offline regularly - but they should recover!

It works, does what it says with absolutely easy setup. The build quality is very good. However, what they're trying to up sell ( like everyone today) with the product is something else, a cloud subscription. You can view the data freely and look for about a week behind. If you want to do any sort of logging of API interconnection, or alerts/ automation then you have to use paid subscription . You can't develop your own and rely on the device - that's something that has to come as a service. That I hate! I am fine with having the option of an easy setup in the cloud for a subscription, but it's hardly acceptable ( to me) to be pushed towards using that.

An excellent product. truely cordless. Easy to setup up. Just need two AA batteries and it can be put anywhere I want it to be. The reading is pretty accurate compared to my Honeywell thermostat. The software side is even better. The IOS software is easy to use. all the data are plotted and they are all cloud sync so no need to worry about the data lost. It can even send an alert to the phone when the device is powered off(for example, need to replace the battery). The website console is also great to use. I can see that the product has a whole IoT platform to support which makes it distinctive to other similar products. There are so many powerful features on that platform. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to have a decent cordless smart home sensor. I'm actually thinking to buy more to have a multiroom temperature mapping.

Very good app, unit was a little bit fiddly to setup for me as i had to use a WiFi extender. If you are planning on using this unit a little away from WiFi check with your phone to see what signal strength is at that distance first. 1 or 2 bars WiFi and the unit will drop off and keep putting up notifications, I've only had one 15min drop out after a week of using WiFi extender so all is good. Loads of information on the app and the ability to set notifications for light, temp, humidity etc is a really good option.

The good: Easy to use and setup. Portal is useful for remote monitoring. When it works its a good device, with good features. The ability to use the remote probe is very good. The bad: I've had two of these units, both broke after about 12 months. The second now just refuses to power on and is useless. I'm not going to buy a third and will look for a more reliable device

What an amazing little device. I have set up a VPN connection on a 4G router which sits in my boat. I needed something which I could use to monitor temperature and humidity remotely whilst the boat is unoccupied. The WS1 fits the bill perfectly as it samples and logs the readings internally and only uses the Wi-Fi for brief synchronisation every 15 mins (configurable). I am using a couple of rechargeable batteries for power and it's too soon to check how long they will last but likely several months. You also get vibration and knock sensor readings which could be useful to detect storms etc. I'm just using the free UbiBot IOT cloud for monitoring ATM but you can sign up as a developer and interface directly to the device via their open API. All in all, everything I would want for a monitoring device. The only sight negative is that the case seems a little flimsy and the device is not really suitable for very wet environments but UbiBot are up front about this in the advertising. Very Impressed!

I purchased this to help automate a few smart-home features. The main reason I got this unit was to monitor the temperature and humidity in a room. If the humidity increased behind 50%, it would trigger an event via IFTTT and turn on a room fan via GE-ZWave, wireless smart light switch through a wink hub. Then once the humidity dropped below 50% it would turn off the fan. And as a precaution, I have IFTTT monitor the switched on fan, if it happens to run for more than 60 minutes, it would automatically turn it off. Then, if the humidity is still above 50%, the process will start over again. Also, another use I have for it, is to monitor water temperature in a water tank. I installed a deicer heating element in the tank, and when submerged optional DS18B20 sensor reports to the unit, it uses IFTTT to control a wemo insight switch. When the temperature drops below 30 deg F, it will turn on the wemo insight switch and start the deicer element. When the temperature is above 33 deg F, the insight switch turns off the deicer element. There is a backup protocol I setup with IFTTT just to be sure the deicer does not stay on all the time. PROS Now couple that with all the additional features (Air Temperature, Humidity, Ambient Light Intensity, Vibration Index Sensor, On board memory storage of data, and free 200MB cloud service account to get started, connect to house Wi-Fi, battery or DC powered, add external sensors (two microusb inputs), and connectivity to RS485 devices), I would have to say this is a nice little compact package that could be installed almost anywhere. Granted you will have longer performance if you can power this from an outlet instead of relying on batteries. Very straight forward setup process. With an app that walks you through the setup process. Has an entry level free tier to get you started. If you pay for a subscription and higher tier you can send alerts as SMS and voice call as well as increase the amount of data storage. Able to display history of data in graph view, and select a data-point to view the data (sorta, it is a bit clunky though). Battery or External Power supply. Adjustable data reporting / reading frequency (pre-programmed options 10, 30, 60 minutes. Custom has a minimum 1 minute and higher value in whole number increments). Power saving options. Reports battery voltage and Wi-Fi signal strength. Setup Alerts rules to report as a notification on a mobile device or email (free tier subscription). View data channels on mobile device (personally tested on iPhone X, and other iOS devices) as well as a web interface through their management console portal. Generates API keys automatically and setups your device for your account. For IoT developers, you can obtain your devices API keys for building your management system. Works with IFTTT and integrates into smart-home setups (tested with Wink Hub 2, Wemo devices). CONS (To be honest, not really cons, just things to be aware of. This really is a great product.) I did find the picture of the external temperature sensor (DS18B20) with the product a little misleading. And yes, you have to read below the picture to realize it was an option. If you are a picture shopper like me, then you may miss that. I was expecting an external sensor to come with the device, but was mistaken. (More of a disclaimer, not a con) For people that us English system of measurements, the Ubibot alert rule values are in metric only. However, if you use IFTTT to monitor readings, then you can use that to adjust your threshold values in English units. If you are a developer and need faster data frequency readings, then you are limited to 1 minute device recording, and then the speed of you network to get the data to external data servers. Fastest data frequency is 1 minute.

El equipo funciona bien y la app es bastante buena, pusexelfequipo en un site y si me sorta si se enfría o se caliento demasiado muy bueno para el precio

I bought this for monitoring our home in the winter while we were away. I'm not a techy person so I asked my highly techy nephew to check it out for me. He said it was a good deal because most companies require a yearly fee for data and the amount of data included with the UbiBot purchase is enough that we would never use it all. It stays continually connected to the wall using the cord & plug it came with. It has batteries for backup if the power goes out. It worked very well! We tried it out before our trip away by putting it in a cold area that was below the low temperature we had the monitor set at. It worked, sending me an email too and also an alert on my cellphone UbiBot app. It was the first time I wasn't worried about the house when we left it in the winter. Even when we have people checking the house every 2 days there is always a concern that things will freeze up quickly in severe cold weather, so this UbiBot is perfect! I can check the app often from our vacation spot using the app. It shows when the temperature started to decline if it happened. I'm very pleased. I needed my nephew to help me with the initial setup in connecting the app with the device, because, as I stated, I'm not a techy person....any set up directions seem too complicated for me. Once it is set up it is easy to use to monitor your temperature, humidity, light and vibration. I just use it for room temperature.

Buen producto
