<div dir="ltr">You mean like this? <a href="http://thermodo.com/" target="_blank">http://thermodo.com/</a> Most phones don't have an ambient temp sensor built in. The only one I know of is the S4. It really doesn't make a whole lot of sense to include them, since most of the time the temp would read that of your leg.

Hey guys, I'm going to be gone from the GR metro area for a couple of months. Do they make some type of wifi enabled remote temperature monitoring appliance, preferably with some type of text/email alert function, so if the furnace craps out I'm notified?</div>
