Appropriately titled the 'ThermoPeanut,' this temperature-sensing device can be used for a variety of small but potentially useful services.
The device was made and released by the brand 'Sen.se' and can fit in areas such as refrigerators in order to track their temperature. The temperature-sensing gadget uses Bluetooth to connect to smartphones and can be paired with other devices in order for owners to track or change the temperature of areas in their home when necessary. The company will also be releasing other "peanuts" including one that ensures security, one that functions as a leak detector and one that is able to sense whether doors are open or closed.
This unique gadget is small but functional and could work to connect homes and make them better suit the needs of homeowners.
