Will the multi-purpose sensor and the associated smarthings app allow for real-time temperature monitoring?

Yes, You can even have it displayed on the main screen on the android app. Temp is in a Circle and the circle even changers color with temp change. I have one multi on the garage door, now I can read the garage temp any time. I Just thew one in my Aunts room to see how hot it's in there. I walked by the door and the heat just blew me back. just did it for fun to see how hot see likes it. Oh, that would be 80 degres. just checked.

Hi David,The temperature is close to real time, however you get updates about once every 10 minutes or so. I imagine This is to help conserve battery.

I use temperature monitoring on a multi-sensor and it provides updates every 20-30 minutes, I believe, unless there is a serious change in temperature.

The app appears to show a temperature change everytime the reading changes, ie 33 to 32 degrees. You can also select the sensor and check the temp. However, there have been numerous users that have reported temperature readings being way off from the smartthings multisensor.

It has a single probe that measures temperature and relative humidity. It will not do what you want - measure temperature in 2 places.

Yes. In fact, that is how we use the app. It's nice to be able to raise the temperature while you're on your way home on a cold winter night.

According to its manual, yes, this can be done. But I never test it. I have a water sensor that connect to it, and I can see the status of sensor from a web page, and get email if status changed(i.e., status changes from "dry" to "wet"). I do not have a controllable device connected.

No, you can link multiple sensors to one thermostat but not multiple thermostats to one sensor. You would benifit from having multiple sensors so the average temp is used helping reduce heating/cooling cost and reducing hot and cold areas.

No! The product only comes with one sensor that reads temp only. If you want to know the humidity, you must purchase a separate sensor...approx. $30.

Yes. I use it send temperature data from an Arduino to an Android phone. It works great.

We have the Honeywell wifi smart thermostat. Our HVAC contractor installed it and recommended the the additional device to even out temps due to a drafty room

This device works wonderfully, but it measures the EXTERNAL temperatures of whatever it is pointed at. I use it to check the wheel bearings on my trailers, etc.

The only sensor that I know of is a thermostat for turning the fan on when the attic gets warm. I am using two of them for a solar polar kiln to dry lumber, so I did not use that sensor. I wanted them to circulate air regardless of the temperature. They work good. The more sun that shines on the panels the more the fans blow.

Its capable of giving you real time readings such as voltage, temps and even speed via gps. However I do believe you need the telemetry components..? Not entirely sure on the last part, however. :(

No, There is only 1 sensor that measures both heat and humidity in one habitat. You would need 2 if you wanted to monitor both.

The unit is designed to monitor temperature, power, and water. It is not designed to incorporate other sensors. There is only one water sensor included and one input in the controller for the water sensor. I don't know if you could tie additional ones into the line for the control unit. The unit is designed for use in one building although you could conceivably locate the water sensor in one area (within 100' of the control unit), a basement for instance, and install the control unit in a garage to monitor the temperature simultaneously.

Yes, when you log into your unit through the web app you see the current indoor and outdoor temps.

I don't think there is such a thing as a "wireless sensor"... but you could try and build an arduino RF receiver and run a filtered pwm output into the sensor temperature leads of this PID controller, and build an arduino RF transmitter with the temp sensor attached that sends the value to the receiver. But if that's the case, i'd recommend just use the same arduino (receiver end) with a relay and program the PID function into the board and save the cost of this controller.. never tried such a thing though..

You can type in whatever data you want to the site but it takes a while . Just get a h7 sensor... it will sync with your smart phone and upload to the internet via the APP

Add-on. With sensors and app allows use of iPod to monitor car speed, rpm, and motor temp.
