can you measure the room temperature or bathtub water temperature?

The thermometer has 2 modes... for reading people's temperature and for reading the temperature of objects. The second mode can be used for reading the temperature of a room (point at the wall) or a bathtub (or other pot of water, I have used it for measuring milk temperature making cheese). Note that you have to switch modes, which takes fumbling through some poorly designed menus, so it is not a fast process. However, it can be used for general measuring of objects within normal temperature ranges (min is 32* F, max I have not found exactly but it can measure at least 110* F).

Room temperature. For Bathub water temperature I recommend this Ozeri Turtlemeter The Baby Bath Floating Turtle Toy and Bath Tub Thermometer

I gave this as a gift to new parents. However, the new mommy told me that her hubby was using it to read the temp of things all over the house. Not sure how accurate the readings are on these other surfaces. Can you contact the manufacturer just to be safe?

Yes you can. I use mine for testing the temperature for lye when I'm soap making. Its one less thing you need to wash and it works very well even at a distance

No. if you use a separate controller, which I do, then it can be easily adjusted to the temperature you want. I use the Ranco ETC-111000-000 Prewired Digital Temperature Controller (ETC-111000-000W) from ETC Supply.. They can also supply an extra length sensor wire and also install heat shrink tubing for underwater use. As far as a automatic timer for the different temperatures, I don't know about that.

Maybe not a shower temp but water yes. I say no on the shower because the shower spray is not solid and I think it will also read the temp of the wall behind the shower. Kind of give you a mix of the two. I'm a apt manager. Use it to measure fridge and freezer temps, heater outlet temp in winter and A/C temp in summer plus lots of other things. I didn't think I'd use it, but after the first day of owning it I have found I use it all the time for different things. Love it, it's a great toy.

No, it reads the surface temperature of whatever object you point it at. You can't "point it" at clear air -- it will read the temperature of the surface across the room.

Yes. There is a button that lets you decide the temperature; there are four degrees.

Absolutely yes! As long as the laser beam can touch the water (or any liquid), it will measure the temperature.

Yes this should work fine since you have sufficient time window to obtain reading. I have used it to get reading of water temperature coming out of faucet and soups etc. Also used it for correct water temperature for yeast.

Just a thermometer... I use it in my bearded dragons tanks to know the basking spot temp. I also use this in my Dubia colony to know temp of the container I keep the colony in.

There is a dial on the top which allows for temperature adjustment, but in my opinion the temperature settings shown on the dial are not very accurate so you will definitely want a thermometer to verify that it is set properly.

The easiest way is with an electric kettle that has a digital temperature readout. Bonavita makes a good one. No thought or measurement required.

No, since it senses room air temperature and not floor temperature which is usually what you want to control with a SunTouch type system. (You just want to heat the floor, not the room.) I have a SunTouch heating system under the tile in my bathroom, and we imbedded a thermocouple in the floor between two of the loops of heating wire. This was connected to a basic, non-digital, SunTouch thermostat and it works very well. My son has the digital SunTouch thermostat and is happy with that as well.

Yes, you can. But remember this is not an extended scale, nor is the instrument built to survive boiling water. So definitely do not buy this instrument if you have to measure water temperatures in the 200+ degree range. They make very good candy thermometers for that use. CAS

You can poke a thermometer through the slates or in the small gap between the door and the body of the unit. The temp is not too stable, it hovers around the set temp, but is fine for most dehydrating needs.

Not to my knowledge. this has a knob that you adjust to whatever the room temp you dsire is reached--but it is a Plus or minus arrangment--no set temps.John D

If you have an air vent close to the sensor, it will detect the change in temperature from the heater/AC airflow. One of my bathrooms has that issue. Try redirecting the airflow higher so it's not registered by the sensor.

Yes, I measure it with a stopwatch. It is 22 seconds. The room temperature was 68 deg. F.
