Everything you need to know about the Lascar Cloud
Do you want to monitor the conditions of a room, area, or fridge wirelessly? Are you finding the regular checking of a temperature meter or data logger cumbersome? Lascar devices connected to the Cloud is the smart and straightforward solution for your temperature and humidity monitoring needs! Loggers will automatically send collected information directly to your smartphone or computer via WIFI, ensuring you never miss an event or alarm again.
About the Lascar Cloud and Connected Devices
In 1977 Lascar Electronics began to offer data logging and custom instrumentation solutions to customers all over the world. Then later, in 2012, Lascar launched EasyLog Cloud, a system that harnesses the power of IoT to automate data logging and alert notifications.
EasyLog Cloud provides users infinite possibilities for managing, monitoring, and accessing temperature and humidity data by making the information gathered by sensors available remotely via any WIFI enabled device. The system allows endless setup options. You can have a single device on the Cloud or have thousands of sensors in multiple locations all around the globe.
The impressive features of EasyLog Cloud include:
- Information Access: Access your collected information anywhere at any time. Opening the EasyLog app presents a device's status and any recent events. From there, you can navigate further for more detailed information.
- Device Management: Forget plugging in devices to set up or adjust settings. Devices that are compatible with EasyLog Cloud allow easy access so you can quickly and remotely change settings via the app.
- Notifications: Easily setup desired alarm parameters and never miss an alarm event with EasyLog Cloud's flexible notification system. You can set the alarm to notify multiple recipients, delay and repeat notifications, or escalate notifications with severity.
- Data Management: You can simply review and analyse your data with powerful graphing functionality provided in the app. This feature enables you to compare data from multiple devices, compare data from different periods, view data summaries, and easily print or export your results.
- Records:EasyLog Cloud's comprehensive system and device audit trail make it easy to keep track of events and sensor activity. This smart system records;
- Any changes to users, locations and account settings
- Device records, such as events and changes to settings
- The addition of any comments, data exports or printing.
- EasyLog Cloud API:Integrate Cloud sensor data with your applications using Easylog's powerful API. You can build custom dashboards and data analysis tools and reconfigure individual sensors.
Examples of Devices that are Lascar Cloud Compatible
Two product ranges are currently compatible with the EasyLog Cloud; EL-MOTE and the EL-WIFI. Here's a quick introduction to the type of devices available.
EL-MOTE
EL-Mote products are WIFI connected data loggers that can measure temperature and humidity as well as log this data to the EasyLog Cloud. The devices are simple to set up, feature onboard visual and audible alarms, have a two-year battery life, and are water-resistant. Sensor type and accuracy are key variables we recommend you use to sort and compare EL-MOTE products.
Temperature Short Probe
The IC-EL-MOTE-T and IC-EL-MOTE-T-Plus kit is an ideal ambient temperature monitoring tool suitable for a broad range of applications. The device features a short probe at the base of the unit. The IC-EL-MOTE-T is widely used to monitor environments such as offices, warehouses, and greenhouses.
