Thermodo is a tiny but awesome dongle that sends highly accurate temperature readings to your Android or iPhone.
So how does it work? Well, you plug the Thermodo dongle into your phone’s headphone port. The app sends an audio signal to the dongle, the dongle attenuates the signal amplitude using your phone’s microphone, and then the app calculates the correct temperature. It sounds complicated, but all you need to do is launch the app. The entire process is silent and near-instant, granting you easy access to the temperature whenever you want to see it.
When you’re not using the Thermodo, you can keep it on your keyring with the included ring and holster, so your headphone port is free to be used. Even when wrapped in its tiny holster, Thermodo is less than an inch long and weighs almost nothing.
The Thermodo is a passive sensor, meaning it uses no power and doesn’t require an internet connection to work. It’s a massive improvement over relying on an internet weather service, which is delayed and only vaguely in the same area as you are. Instead, you get immediate and accurate results on demand – awesome.
The Thermodo was a massive Kickstarter success, raising ten times their $35,000 goal, so we hope you’re equally excited. We’re looking forward to getting the Thermodo in stock as soon as possible. To see more information or place your pre-order, please visit the product page linked below!
