Best wifi temperature monitoring and wifi controlled outlet

I run a 1000w HPS in a 5x5 tent as well as a 315 cmh in a 3x3. I am looking for a way to remotely monitor temps and be able to shut the light off remotely if something goes terribly wrong such as an exhaust fan failure.

These are the products I am looking at:



(I would buy an additional sensor so i have one for each tent)




(I would buy 2, one for each tent)




I was also thinking about getting one of these in case I miss the temperature notification from the wifi thermometer.


(I would only buy one of these for the 5x5 tent, not worried about the 3x3 because the 315 ballast and hood are all one unit and have overheating protection)



It seems like quite a bit of gear but coming home from a 2-4 day vacation to find my plants all crispy because the light ran without cooling; that would be devastating not to mention the fire hazard.


Any input or recommendations on different equipment?

I use this wifi dealio + extra sensors. Monitors, alerts, history.

For my wall banger AC I use a Sensibo to control remotely. Allows me to up or lower the temp anywhere anytime, schedule, etc..

Awesome little device. About the size of a matchbox. Free web based anytime anywhere access, and free history data. Cheaper than many decent temp/humidity gauges! This app/view limited to devices on same network the GW1000 is connected to. Web. Anytime anywhere. Showing sensor 1.

This is working great, for me. Able to manage my Amana 6k window shaker. Anytime/anywhere. Schedule for lights on/lights off AC settings. Easy setup too.

I also looked at that wifi temp sensor, i might go that route because its a lot cheaper than the inkbird thanks for the input on that one it almost seemed to good to be true.

My bigger concern is having a fail safe to shut the light off as soon as the tent gets over say 87 degrees and then even possible an additional wifi controller to completely cut power to the ballast until i can get home to evaluate the situation.

For my lights, I use one of these. Has high-temp shut-off. (But I see it's discontinued.)


I cannot shutoff my lights remotely. If I could, I would also want to be able to turn on a low powered light to maintain my 12/12, without the heat.
Easy enough with all the wifi smart outlets going around these days......if you trust your lights on them.
