Kestrel to Sell $199 Moisture-Based Data Logger With Bluetooth Smart Connectivity

Kestrel will begin taking orders Jan. 15 for the DROP D3 wireless temperature, humidity and pressure data logger ($199) that allows users to record and monitor environmental conditions from a smart device. DROPs can be placed inside or outside the home -- and in water -- to log specific environmental conditions and can send the data via Bluetooth Smart to an iPhone or iPad, Kestrel said. Measurements include temperature, humidity, heat index, dew point temperature, station pressure, density altitude and pressure trend, the company said. The data logger uses Kestrel’s Connect app and can transmit data up to 100 feet line of sight to a mobile device, it said.
