Rooti CliMate - weather station is less than a matchbox

We have checked that one can gadgets by Rooti Labs, and the result pleased. CliMate - yet another development of the company, which should not be the body, but for the surrounding area. This is a miniature weather station that monitors the main indicators of the state of the air in the room and outside it: temperature, relative humidity and the level of ultraviolet radiation.

Device in the form of a cloud slightly larger than a coin, polsantimetra, lightweight, and compact thickness. It can be placed in the room on a special stand, or to carry a key fob.

CliMate is available in several colors, we got a classic white.

In the present device the button to turn on the search, the indicator light and temperature, humidity and light.

Every 15 minutes, the device is synchronized via Bluetooth to a smartphone and sends the information in the application is compatible with iOS 6 to iOS and 9 (the latter has not yet supported), iPhone 4S, and further, iPod Touch fifth generation and beyond, iPad 3 and later (including iPad Mini), Android 4.3 (or newer) Bluetooth 4.0.

CliMate running on battery, which should last for six months with continuous use of the device.

Let us examine in more detail what and why shows CliMate.

Air temperature

In accordance with the sanitary norms and rules in the cold season the air temperature in the accommodation should be 18-24 ° C. It is with these values ​​of comfortable working and living in the most cases.

Relative humidity

If we look at the same SanPin, we learn that the relative humidity be maintained between 40-60%.

During the heating season usually measure the humidity in the room is much smaller, which demonstrates CliMate when measured in a room without a humidifier.

Why do we monitor this indicator? The air we breathe contains not only the atmospheric gases, but also dust, viruses and bacteria. Most of the undesirable elements must settle on the mucous membranes of the nasopharynx, while the body is easier to fight infections.

If the air is too dry, the mucous and become drier, and can not cope with their functions. Adding here the autumn-winter period and morbidity splash - get a runny nose, cough, and all the other amenities of the common cold.

Only maintaining the humidity is not to decide, but if your home or office figure does not exceed 20-30%, it is time to invest in a humidifier.

Ultraviolet radiation

UV index - a measure of the level of ultraviolet radiation. The higher the index, the more dangerous the sun for you. Considered safe from zero to two, in other cases it is necessary to use sunscreen and to hide from the light.

If the index has passed for eight, need enhanced protection, otherwise you can harm health.

device manufacturers do not live in the Russian climate. We as a third-climate quality index performs air velocity. A UV index is critical for a number of regions.

For comparison, according to the WHO, the Australian Darwin during the year UV index does not fall below eight, and in St. Petersburg does not rise above the six.

So if you live in a sunny country, or going to the beach in summer, consider CliMate advice. The application for a device implemented an interesting feature: you can specify the type of skin, specify what protection factor (SPF) stands on your sunscreen, and the application will calculate the maximum time that you can spend in the sun without harm to health. You can even put a timer to time to go back into the shadows.

Gathering data and additional functions

As with any application data, CLIMATE leads statistics per day, week and month, will help keep track of how much you are in a favorable environment, and how much - not very.

In the settings you can set the optimal parameters, and, if any indicator goes beyond these values, you have a notice on the application.

The chip is for fans of photos: You can take a picture of the surrounding space, with a photo will be displayed on the figures recorded instrument. Several options for the location of data. That's how you can prove that we fall so-so:

Minuses

The device does not respond quickly to sudden changes in conditions. If you come from a warm room to cool outside, the temperatures do not change in an instant, and will fall gradually. However, CLIMATE adjusted to the weather less than a minute.

And not a bad thing, but rather an occasion for regret. For a complete climate control are missing barometer. In the middle band, for example, mild or severe continental climate, frequent changes in atmospheric pressure is much greater impact on health than the same level of UV radiation.

Who and why you need a device

• Often ill people. If you have problems with the respiratory system, the quality of the air you breathe, plays a crucial role in health. temperature and humidity control - this is the same rate as a proper diet and exercise.
• parents little children. If adults can somehow endure and overcome adverse conditions in the room and on the street, they are critical for child development.
• plant fans. You have a winter garden? Hence, it is necessary periodically to find out if everything is well with your plants. If the leaves fall off, you'll experiment to find out, from what it was. And CliMate this will not happen.
• People who love to sunbathe and take a ride to the beach. The device makes it possible to protect the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation.
