Mini weather station with WIFI connectivity.
A temperature and humidity sensor at home serves several purposes:
Comfort: It helps maintain a comfortable indoor environment by allowing you to adjust heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems according to temperature and humidity levels.
Health: Monitoring humidity levels can prevent mold growth, which can cause respiratory issues and allergies. Additionally, maintaining optimal humidity levels can help alleviate dry skin and respiratory irritation.
Energy Efficiency: By accurately measuring temperature and humidity, you can optimize HVAC settings to reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills.
Protection of Belongings: Certain items like musical instruments, artwork, and electronics are sensitive to humidity levels. Monitoring and controlling humidity can help protect these belongings from damage.
Early Warning: Fluctuations in temperature and humidity can sometimes indicate issues such as leaks, poor insulation, or HVAC malfunctions. Detecting these early can prevent costly repairs and damage to property.

Suitable Humidity Ranges for People:
- <30%: Dry air, causing skin and respiratory issues.
- 30-40%: Lower end of comfort, still suitable for many.
- 40-60%: Ideal range, comfortable and reduces health risks.
- >60%: Encourages mold and dust mites, difficult breathing.

Which data serving options are available?
- Sending data to a free cloud data logging service at tehybug.com
- Sending data via HTTP POST or GET request to a custom remote Web Server
- Sending data to a custom MQTT broker
- Serving data as a Web-Server on port 80 in form of HTML code or JSON format.
- Receive alerts with a sensor to your mobile phone or via email.
What is it?
TeHyBug (Temperature Humidity Spy Bug) is an ultimate low power environmental data spy-bug for your home. It logs an environmental data periodically and sends it to the TeHyBug-Server, your own web server or MQTT broker like a Raspberry Pi, where you can view the data in a nice daily/hourly graph. Measure the environmental data in your private server room, basement, storeroom, library, etc..
What you get?
- A soldered, ready to use TeHyBug with optionaly available 3D Printed enclosure and USB Cable.
- The module includes pre-flashed and preinstalled environmental data logging software.
- Detailed first start instructions.
How to start data logging with it?
Before going live with environmental data measurement, you’ll have to connect your TeHyBug with a browser to set up an HTTP URL of the data web server and provide your wifi network credentials for internet connection.
- use a tehybug.com server as a data server (you’ll have to signup at tehybug.com for this and provide your unique TeHyBug key in your account),
- or to use your own web host like Raspberry Pi or any other web host for data fetching where you’ll be able to set your own custom URL,
- or to use your own MQTT broker like Raspberry Pi or any other MQTT broker for publishing sensor data where you’ll be able to set your own MQTT host,
- or use Blynk, thingspeak or Domoticz home automation system for logging and displaying data.
