Yes it's expensive... I've used it on a couple batches so far (it was a christmas present)
The volume of data this thing delivers when connected to the cloud is really impressive. Temperature and specific gravity. Every 15 minutes.
The mystery is gone!
I have it feeding data into an old iPad which is hooked to a charger. The app on the iPad uploads the data to a google sheets page where the data fills a template which automatically generates the graphs and summary page.
The blue tooth doesn't go very far - especially from within a fermentation fridge. The iPad is about 3 feet from the fridge - through a wall. I am using plastic fermonster fermenters. I doubt the bluetooth would make it through a stainless fermenter inside a fermentation fridge.
Outside of the fridge - the signal seems to go about 20 feet.
