The Instrument Choice Team of Scientists regularly reviews new and popular products, so when searching for the perfect scientific instrument for your application, you can make more informed decisions.
This edition reviews the Loggerflex bun Thermo WIFI Temperature Sensor, an entirely wireless temperature recorder with alarm functionality.
Introducing LoggerFlex
LoggerFlex design and manufacture a family of WIFI enabled, smart devices that monitor and wirelessly send critical information about their surrounding environment to a cloud-based platform.
The practical and functional WIFI sensors manufactured by LoggerFlex are widely used across various industries, such as:
- Food and beverage manufacturing
- Food and beverage safety compliance
- HVAC/R
- Pharmaceutical
- Agriculture
- Industrial monitoring
- Preservation
- Property management; and
- Home or office indoor comfort monitoring.
About the bun Thermo WIFI Temperature Sensor
The bun Thermo is a robust, battery-operated temperature sensor that records temperature information and relays it to the EEMS (Electronic Energy Monitoring System) cloud-based platform via WIFI. Your collected data is accessible via the web-based or by creating a mobile application on any smart device.
Key Features and Benefits of the bun Thermo WIFI Temperature Sensor

- Direct WIFI connection: The bun Thermo WIFI Temperature Sensor connects directly to your home or work WIFI network.
- User-Friendly Installation: The bun Thermo WIFI Temperature Sensor takes as little as two minutes to install and set up.
- Real-Time Alarms: No matter the distance from your bun Thermo WIFI Temperature Sensor, you will receive real-time alarms if something goes wrong. Alarm options include email, text message or a phone call.
- Intuitive interface: Through the mobile or web-based application, you can access data, adjust device attributes, set alarms, download reports, view graphs as well as share and save important data.
- Long Battery Life: The bun Thermo WIFI Temperature Sensor utilises ultra-low battery consumption technology, making the sensor a genuine “set and forget” option.
- Waterproof and Washable: Impressively IP68 rated, the bun Thermo WIFI Temperature Sensor is washable, waterproof and dustproof.
- Adjustable Sampling Rate: Choose a temperature sampling rate between 1, 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes.
- Automatic Cloud Syncing: Select your ideal data synchronisation interval (i.e., updating cloud data with new temperature recordings). Intervals are colour coded to represent the strain on battery life (Figure 1). Alarms activate immediately regardless of your synchronisation interval.
- End-To-End Encryption: All data transmissions between your datalogger and the Cloud are signed and encrypted. To further protect your privacy, all communications between your browser and the Cloud are also encrypted.
- Internal Memory: The bun Thermo WIFI Temperature Sensor stores up to 16,384 temperature records. Older records stored on the bun are automatically replaced upon automatic data synchronisation, ensuring you don’t lose any temperature recordings, even if WIFI drops out.
- Peace Of Mind: Cloud data is backed up frequently to ensure the safety of previous records.
- Access your records on any device: Collected information is available for review on the EEMS web application or by creating an Apple or Android
