<p>In one aspect the invention provides an apparatus for monitoring environmental conditions and communicating an index value of thereof to a remote device. The apparatus comprises a controller, a temperature sensor operably coupled to the controller and capable of generating a first signal proportional to the temperature condition adjacent said apparatus, a humidity sensor operably coupled to the controller and capable of generating a second signal proportional to the humidity condition adjacent said apparatus and wireless communication means. The controller is responsive to the first and second signals to calculate an index value based thereupon and communicates the index value via the wireless communication means. System and method aspects are also provided.</p> |
