Wireless digital thermometer with remote monitoring

[Larebear]

I was thinking about ordering a wireless thermometer that could be monitored using a iPhone or Android phone or tablet from any locations. I was wondering if anyone else here has one of these or something similar or any recommendations for something better. Always looking for new gadgets.

Couldn't stand it anymore. I ended up ordering the kit but got it for about $20 less. eaceful:

Ooops too late. Was going to recommend a NinjaBlock. They are no longer officially supported but do that and infinitely more. They should be going for a song these days. Have have a dozen sitting in a storeroom a continent away.

If you are a gadet man these things would keep you occupied for years with all the super low cost sensors available now. Would look for a second hand one as they are probably going for less than the component cost (main component being a beagle bone and zigbee)

Thanks for the suggestions SquareEyes. I already have Vera2 and a VeraLite z-wave controllers. I can remotely control all my lights, door locks, garage (roll-up) doors, sprinklers, alarm console, gate opener, heaters, etc. Also all my lights are controlled with motion sensors.

I thought it would be great to also be able to monitor inside and outside temperatures while away from home. That's why I decided to order the AcuRite kit. Looks like it will get the job done. Yep, I'm a gadget freak. eaceful:

Received the weather station kit and it was easy to set up. Placed one of the sensors in my freezer, one inside the house and one outside. Works great! Was able to access the temperatures at all three areas with my phone and tablet while at various locations. Will post some pics later. Ok, has nothing to do with IP cameras but might figure out a way to integrate them.
