Temperature and humidity sensors will allow construction companies to keep track of peak temperatures and how humid the conditions are. For example, some road construction companies need the outside temperature and humidity of the paving units to always below 89 degrees. This can easily be done by setting a threshold on the water proof temperature and humidity sensor to 89 degrees. Once the threshold breach you can have a siren and strobe light connected to the sensors alarm. This alerts anyone around that the temperature or the humidity breached 89 degrees.

Since most road units have small modular buildings used to manage the project it is perfect to put a BitSight2 in the unit. The BitSight2 will connect to a network and allow temperature and humidity monitoring and trending.

If you work for a road construction company and are interested or just have questions, please leave comments below and I can provide answers.

In the palm of my hand
We obviously use our temperature monitoring probes, which also take care of humidity monitoring. Look how small these things are:

Since the one probe can do both temperature and humidity sensing, the second port can be used to detect water, smoke, or any of our other environmental monitoring sensors.

No temperature monitoring program needed
This little device has a web server built in, so you can hit it with an IE or FireFox web browser. The unit is self contained, and prices start at $250. It also supports SNMP. Check out the live environmental monitoring demos:
