HOBO by Onset MX1101 - Temperature/Relative Humidity Data Logger

I installed this in a server room rack to collect temperature and RH data. As the room is in a locked room behind keycard access control, I really wanted to be able to walk by and collect my data without having to enter the space.I've found that I can easily collect data over bluetooth to my smartphone through the door and walls at a distance of about 50 feet. In fact, there is a little bench down the hall where I can sit and grab my readings. So far, I've been collecting continuous data since May 25th (just over 1 month) and the datalogger memory is still not full (T, RH, Max, Min). The graphs produced are very nice and readable - suitable for presentation, and raw data can be downloaded in CSV and other useful formats. Share to SMS, email, etc. with a click. I have been very impressed with this unit's usability and data retention. Battery life is also excellent.The user app is top notch and easy to use. I have checked accuracy by placing this little logger into another server room with an expensive, dedicated monitoring unit and found excellent agreement between temp and RH values.Thus far, I have no criticisms of this logger. Excellent performance for the price.

Seems to work as advertised so I am giving it 5 stars. Delivery deserves zero stars. It was dropped off at my place of business an hour after we closed. The hours are clearly marked. Our store is on a busy street and the sidewalk always has a lot of traffic. The only reason I can give this review is because I got a text letting me know it had been delivered. My wife jumped in the car and drove the 25 minutes back to the store so we would have it our next business day. I called and tried to explain the situation, but the person on the phone just couldn’t grasp what I was pissed about.

I like this unit as it is easy to setup and produce long term results in spreadsheet format. The customer service is responsive if you have a question. My only downside is that the unit does not have a way to calibrate it. If you determine that the humidity reading needs an adjustment you can only do it after you have produced a readout. In other words if the humidity reads 2% high, you will have to subtract 2% on the humidity value on your spreadhseet.

Works great ! but don't get them wet

This unit is super easy to set up and configure. It has upper and lower alerts for both temp and RH, with an audible alert if desired. Easily exports the data in Excel or text or an image. Great connectivity with the mobile app and has an option for security access if desired. The only knock is the power supply. I’ll have to keep AAA batteries on hand and it is an inconvenience to take the unit down, open it up swap batteries and hang it back up. I bought a different data logger from ilastore-US and it was absolute junk…stay away from that merchant and that product!Update 12/8/2016: This unit was on the wall for a month presumably collecting data, but when I went back to collect the data the unit does not function. The merchant jumped at the 30 day support window and bailed out on providing any type of support (they got their money…see ya). So while easy to use and seemingly easy to get information from, it is clearly a piece of junk. I am now forced to contact the manufacturer and hope I can get some support, but I do not have high hopes.

I love how tiny this is and easy to use. Not made for a factory use where you cannot take your phone with you.

This logger worked as advertised. Simple and easy to use.

Loved the unit while it lasted. I used it indoors at a vacation house to monitor temp & humidity. Nice being able to download data in various time blocks. After 4 years the unit no longer gave accurate temperature readings. No repair services offered by the manufacturer. Too expensive to buy a new one every 4-5 years. RIP
