I was thinking to have one mounted in my garage which gets pretty hot in the summer. Will the garage temperature affect the biometric reading?

how hot is hot? i dont think heat would affect the reader but heat is bad for electronics all together i dont know for sure but id say 100 degrees an under i think you would have more difficult time in cold before heat hope this helps did you try tech support at barska? im sure they have tested this in all situations i havent had any problems with mine as long as you keep the reader glass clean oily skin affects the reading otherwise it works everytime for me

I've used one in an insulated garage workshop for 12 hours at a time over the course of that last two winters. I have two carbon monoxide detectors installed for this reason, and to date neither have registered a reading on their digital display. A couple years ago I used two in the house when we lost power for a week and never had a problem.

I would say probably not very well if your garage gets that hot. This isn't an air conditioner, it's just a fan so if you want something that can cool down a garage that hot, this isn't the fan for you.It will probably feel like the hot air is just blowing around your garage.

My experience was I registered 2 of my fingers but when I tested it with the unregistered fingers, it still opened. I returned it, not safe if any finger works. Not a true biometric sensor.

We have ours inside, but we live in a hotter part of SoCal than you. I would bet that garage storage in such a mild climate like yours, doesn't really affect it much.

Yes. The system has a setting for your solar equipment. You will need another temperature gauge though.

Probably so, I have two of them in my motorhome, which is approx. 300sq.ft and they kept it at 72 degrees inside, while outside got down to 28 degrees! It depends on sq.ft. of the garage, and how well it is insulated, you might need two.

Temperature in a garage could be too low but if it's a play room used by humans it should be OK

You would probably need to contact the mfr on that question. I don't think the release would be a problem at that temp but the fingerprint scanner might.

No. Matter of fact, this is how I check/verify mine is working properly: they should read the same, or within a few degrees. I use mine in a BBQ pit.

I would guess "yes". The EIM is not measuring temperature, and I would suppose that this sort of solid state equipment should be able to handle attic summer temps

I believe so. Keep in mind that I did not find the Biometric feature to be useful at all, and returned this item.

Yes; temperatures that high could possibly damage internal components in your radar detector or damage the plastic housing because it is a vary soft; I would take it out, or put it in a shaded place when you are not using it car/ truck.

It should work just fine. I've used one for the past two winters to measure just how long the furnace runs. I used one last summer to see how much the house AC ran. Mine sits on the vent. The key is to place the unit where it will measure the maximum temperate swings as the AC/heater cycles. Another unit sits in greenhouse and is placed away from the heater as I want to know the temperature that the plants are at. I can still tell when the heater is on - for the most part - but the temperature swings are small and hard to see precisely.

as was mentioned, it is accurate while not wearing it, like the majority of temperature reading watches. Sense the sensor is on the watch, and right next to your skin, these type of watches are made to read "off the body" and you will only get the ambient temp of your skin if you are reading it while wearing it.

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.

I have a semi heated garage and I don't seem to have that problem. And I was under the impression that it worked by motion detection.
