21 Ways to Protect Your Stuff with an Elertus WiFi Smart Sensor

If you are looking for a low cost way to protect your valuables against light, heat and theft and receive alerts via your smartphone if something goes wrong, the Elertus WiFi Smart Sensor is the answer. There are a slew of ways you can use Elertus to protect all kinds of stuff – we’ve thought of 21 – including monitoring a vacation home for intruders or being notified if the temperature gets too warm at a commercial refrigeration facility. Regardless of what you need to protect, the Elertus WiFi Smart Sensor is one of the easiest to install and least expensive monitoring and messaging devices on the market.

 

How Does it Work?

The Elertus WiFi Smart Sensor is a wireless, battery-powered device that consists of smart sensors and a cloud-based app. Small in size (about 3″ W x 2.5″ L x 1″ D), the Elertus unit comes with built in temperature, humidity, motion and light alerts. If you want to monitor for water leaks or opening doors, wired probes and sensors are sold as accessories.

Any time there is an “action” – such as when the device reaches a specified temperature or humidity, a door is opened unexpectedly or when movement is detected — Elertus sends a notification to your smartphone in the form of a text message or email alert. Users can customize the alerts they want to receive and how they want to receive them. Elertus sends alerts to up to 5 users.

The Elertus apps work with iPhone^®, iPad^® and iTouch^® devices as well as Android smartphones. Although the Elertus doesn’t have a digital display, it does send your data to its server site in the cloud. You can access the info in your account using Elertus software.

 

Easy Installation

Elertus is really simple to install. First of all, it’s cordless and runs on AA batteries, so you can put it just about anywhere – inside and outside. And it connects through your Internet WiFi network wirelessly within a range of about 50 feet.
