SmartLife Humidity Temperature sense for Taylor / Martin / Gibson acoustic guitar
A few years ago Taylor brought out their ‘TaylorSense’ remote humidity monitoring system. That was discontinued in 2024 so we have found this model as being a suitable alternative.
We’ve tested it here in store at Guitar Mania and can heartily recommend it as a very cost effective alternative.
Seems to be fairly accurate and tracks our existing humidity monitors quite well.
It requires 2 x AAA Batteries which aren’t supplied so they need installing first.
Then download the SmartLife app from itunes / google play store etc
It seemed to link up to this sensor quite easily and has been running off the same AAA batteries for several weeks now (still at 98% after 4 weeks!) and has a bettery level reading in the app so you can monitor it.
Apparently this device can link up to Alexa but I HAVEN’T TRIED IT so we can’t offer any advice or help with that. Would be fun if you could ask “Alexa, what’s the humidity in my guitar” though. But not looked into that yet.
Sadly there is only limited technical assistance we can offer on this item and suggest further technical queries be directed to the manufacturer which may not be instant.
The Taylor Sense was over £70 so this is significantly cheaper so let’s expect, or make allances at least for any shortcomings.
