I would like to use this pool/spa thermometer to measure air temperature inside a greenhouse. Can it?

My thermometer stuck on the same temperature but I discovered that changing the battery fixed it. The battery does not last as long as claimed but is adequate. I have not used it to measure air temperature but it does respond slowly and I would think it would even be slower when trying to measure air temperature.

I'm not sure. Maybe it will work better than in an actual hot tub. I have had mine for less than a year and it has been getting stuck on the same temperature for quite some time now and the other day I was going to reset the floating part and when I unscrewed it the gasket stretched out of shape which means it is no good now without it.

As long as it is in water yes. It is not prepared to measure air temperature.

Yes it could be used. However you may need to drill holes for the temperature probes.
1355242
yes, it can be used for detecting human, ambient and other hot(maybe cold) object's temperature.

Yes. The system has a setting for your solar equipment. You will need another temperature gauge though.
1583021
Yes, but be aware that it only measures temperature when you ask it to (from the app). It doesn't monitor conditions continuously.

Yes; just don't activate the temperature monitoring function. It is a very nice unit. You have to read the instructions closely when setting the unit up.

Although I haven't tried it I believe it would work. But it would only measure the surface temp of the food. Not the interior temp.

Should be fine but be careful not to bury it in sand/gravel as you would in an aquatic tank. The bulb on this unit is at the base and if you bury it in your substrate too deep you won't get an accurate measurement of the air temperature which is what you want. You would probably be better off getting a thermometer that can be mounted or suspended off the ground.

Lake Rat is correct. It can read the surface temp, but not internal temp; therefore, it won't be as accurate. You will need to get a normal thermometer.

Hi Terrie, Yes, you can just use a portion of the shaft to get the soil temperature. I use it in the shallow greenhouse planting medium as well as outdoors to check ground temperature before planting seeds.

Yes you can. You can even view the external temperature but I think that is taken from whatever the temperature report in your zip code is at the moment. I use this for my cottage.

To monitor air and water would require two of these sensors. The air sensor is normally used to trigger the freeze protection mode. If you don't have a spa/pool heater then I would not see a need for the water sensor.

Yes you can. I use mine for testing the temperature for lye when I'm soap making. Its one less thing you need to wash and it works very well even at a distance

you should be able to. I don't think there is a temperature limit on the sensor.

No, it can only be used for surface temperature. There is no probe to check internal temp.

Yes it can. It will detect body heat only and large pets. I would avoid placing the sensor in direct sunlight. It will stay on from 10 to 15 seconds.
1952217
Yes, I believe it would, it comes with a sensor that can be surface mounted in order to read temperature.
