Turn Your Smartphone Into A Smart Weather Station

TORONTO - June 8, 2015 - PRLog -- A mobile phone is a gadget that has a lot of capabilities, it can tell where it is at any particular moment, it already knows how you are holding it as well as what kind of information you are feeding. It can also tell how fast you are moving and probably the direction of your movements. A sensor packed mobile phone has the ability to measure and detect so many things. Despite that fact, the gadget has no capacity to indicate the ambient temperature. The device have an inbuilt thermometer; it only has the capacity to detect a rise or fall of internal temperature. At times the user may need to know the actual temperature in the surrounding; this would require a dedicated external sensor. QTemp is the solution to this. This is a small electrical thermometer which transmits measured temperature and UV to the Smartphone through NFC.

The device draws its power from the phone wirelessly. Keeping the NFC circuitry at standby power is definitely negligible. The device drains negligible power from the phone, it is estimated that it drains less than 1% per day. Users only need to tap it in their smartphones and the exact temperature at the location will display on the phone. It only takes a few seconds to obtain perfect temperature reading result.QTemp is battery free and waterproof, the device is light and slim design  in practical terms when compared to a business card, its only one-third in terms of the size.  It primarily comes with keychain making it easy to carry whenever on the move.

Toronto-based start-up Comfable are going to raise production funds for the QTemp on Kickstarter. With a pledge towards the cause one is guaranteed of getting one devise.
