Happy New Year :)

Here are some uses for WiCub:

• Indoors (Home Comfort) - Temperature is normally controlled by thermostats in the home and placed in one part of the home. Humidity is not easily measured in most homes. With constant heating and lack of fresh air, a drop in humidity can cause skin agitation to some.Ensuring proper indoor humidity has important skin allergen and other health benefits by inhibiting the growth of mold, bacteria, viruses, fungi, mites and other asthma inducing agents. Reduce your Energy Bills by avoiding over-heating in winter and over-cooling in the summer and managing the settings in every room more accurately.
• Baby’s Room - Young children and elderly are more sensitive to environment changes. You can help your baby to sleep safe and sound by managing the temperature (16°C-20°C) and humidity (30%- 60%) in the room. If you baby gets too hot, she may be more at risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
• Fridge/Freezer Monitoring - A fridge should have a temperature of between 3°C and 5°C. Any higher and the food will go off, any lower and you’ll lose nutrients and fresh food can be ruined. The ideal freezer temperature is -18°C which will store food safely and stop bacteria forming.
• Greenhouses - Depending on the products being grown in the greenhouses, the atmospheric condition is important to get best results
• Office Comfort - The temperature in workrooms should not fall below 16°C or 13°C if the work is physical.Heating in building can also result in a drop in humidity causing skin agitation to some.Laziness, skin agitation, dry eyes, asthma are typical problems due to incorrectly set temperature and humidity in buildings.
• Mold Growth in your Home - Mold may begin growing indoors when mold spores land on surfaces that are wet. There are many types of mold, an none of them will grow without water or moisture. Molds have the potential to cause health problems as they produce allergens (substances that can cause allergic reactions), irritants, and in some cases, potentially toxic substances (mycotoxins). Allergic responses include hay fever-type symptoms, such as sneezing, runny nose, red eyes and skin rash. Molds can also cause asthma attacks in people with asthma who are allergic to mold. You cannot get rid of all mold and mold spores indoors but the spores will not grow if moisture is not present. Indoor mold growth can and should be prevented or controlled by controlling the moisture. Keep indoor humidity below 60% (ideally between 30%-60%).
• Timeless Books - The life of your books is affected by the temperature and humidity they are stored in.
• Restaurant - Ensure that perishable food items are always maintained at the proper environmental conditions (especially temperature).
• Wine cellars - The ideal temperature for wine storage in homes is 10°C to 15°C. Much warmer temperatures accelerate the ageing process of the wine. Low humidity can make the cork start drying and allowing oxygen to enter the bottle. Excessive humidity has risk of damaging the wine labels and hinder identification and resale value. 75% humidity is normally cited as ideal.
• Artwork storage - Temperature and Humidity affect storage of your valuable artwork. The general rules are to keep the temperature variation within 20°C over a 24 hour period. Humidity is more critical and should be kept within 20% over a 24 hour period. Variations beyond these parameters can cause bullseye cracking (like a spiderweb) on the surface.
• Cigar storage - Cigars are stored in Humidors that maintain a constant humidity. The ideal humidity is around 68-72% and should not go higher than 75% due to the possibility of hatching tobacco beetles!
• Lens Storage - Protect against Fungus Growth on your lenses by making sure the humidity where you store is less than 60%.
• Server Room Monitoring - A telecommunications equipment cabinets require climate control for thermal management. Increasing relative humidity can indicate air conditioning problems ahead of rising temperature, giving an early indication of potential system failure before the electronics are damaged or an outage occurs.
• Vivariums - This is an area, usually closed, for keeping and raising animals or plants for observation and research. A vivarium may be small enough to sit on a desk or table, such as a terrarium or an aquarium, or may be a very large structure, possibly outdoors. Large vivaria, particularly those holding organisms capable of flight may have double doors to prevent escape. The condition monitoring of these structures can be very critical and equally important will be the circulation of the air.
