Cigar Humidor Controller: humidity sensor with SMS alerts
Prototype of a humidor controller that measures the relative humidity inside and sends an SMS when it goes outside the range set by the user.
The price includes design, functional prototyping, product testing and optimization.
Why design a humidity controller for humidors?
Humidity under watch
Measures the relative humidity of the humidor to keep its contents in good condition.
Alerts only when needed
It only sends an SMS when humidity leaves the range the user has set.
Simple setup
It is set up from a phone by connecting it to the user’s Wi-Fi network.
Small and self-contained
A circular sensor with a replaceable battery that fits inside the humidor.
First prototype of the Cigar Humidor Controller
Product design
Black circular housing with a lid to reach the battery.
Humidity sensor
Relative humidity measurement inside the humidor.
Electronics
Circular board with the electronics and connectivity.
Firmware
Measurement logic, alert range and setup.
IoT connectivity
Wi-Fi connection and SMS alerts.
Prototyping
Functional prototype to validate measurement, alerts and setup.
Project lead of the Cigar Humidor Controller
“A sensor that lives inside a humidor has to be small, withstand humidity and only alert when it matters. Fitting electronics, firmware and housing into that space was the challenge. If we could do this, we can surely do your idea.”
