A Thermometer for One's Smartphone

  • PDF

Temperature-reading accessories for smartphones are not too new, but the Robocat take appears to be the most portable one yet-- the Thermodo, a small (3.5cm) thermometer one can plug into device headphone jacks.

ThermodoThe Thermodo carries a highly-sensitive sensor inside a tiny package, and works together with a companion app. Once plugged in iOS or Android devices it measures air temperatures, with the app providing readings and graphs.

The device is reportedly even a bit too sensitive-- touching it affects readings, and while the app provides some compensation adjustments the makers suggest using an audio extension cable for more accurate readings.

When not in use the Thermodo can be safely slotted in a matching keyring case.

The Thermodo is available now in either basic (in black, red or silver) or premium (in aluminium) versions.
