Temperature sensors can work with your thermostat to help you maximise your house warmth and minimise your costs but they can do more than that. Link them to the Nifty Brain™ and so to a local weather station and they can integrate weather forecasts to their work. Or perhaps warn you if a room becomes too hot, they don’t replace heat alarms but an add additional peace of mind.

Light sensors are often integrated into other sensors but much like temperature ones we can do many things with them. A simple use will be to turn lights off in a room if no movement or person is detected, ideal in downstairs loo’s or bathrooms. Others can help open or close the curtains depending on the light level outside or turn on outside lights as needed.

Humidity sensors work well in places like Bathrooms, perhaps to automatically turn on/off an extractor fan. Or in a hard to reach location, we can graph humidity levels round the house and help see where problems lie.
