Hello, can this measure the temperature of heat coming in through window or door glass?

It will give you the surface temperature of the glass but you will have to hit a nearby wall to calculate the differences between both and that should give you a good estimate

Probably not as a direct reading. Likely the surface temperature of the glass will be read. You would likely have more luck measuring the surrounding walls and frame.

Yes! It's made to be read from inside the window, and the numbers & red temperature pointer are easily to read from across the room. Other transparent stick-on type thermometers are only readable from very close up.

As long as the temperature you're measuring is between -20F and 80F, yes. This thermometer cannot turn an A.C. on and off, but it can tell you the temp of the output air stream or the room temp.

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.

In my opinion it would work fine, these infrared devices are good at measuring surface temperatures so what you would get is the temperature of the surface that you aimed at, it is not going to give you an internal temperature like a oven t-stat would but you probably already know that, enjoy.

I don't have an actual tool to measure but it seems the temp in the room with the window covering is at least 5-10 degrees cooler than the others. Plus we have a fan going, but there is a big difference. it is nice and we LOVE it.

Yes you can. You can even view the external temperature but I think that is taken from whatever the temperature report in your zip code is at the moment. I use this for my cottage.

No it cannot. The IR gun only takes a surface reading. A sheet of glass is opaque in the infrared range of light (look up what a window looks like through a FLIR Camera). The laser pointer can penetrate the glass but that is working in a different range of light. In general a drier will have two layers of acrylic or glass that trap a layer of air inside, acting as an insulator. This will further hamper efforts to read the temperature inside.-JamieEngineering Field Technician

most likely you'll get the glass surface temperature if the beamis focused on the glass surface. you'll need to sight down directly on the liquid to get a better sense of its temperature (and it'll be a near surface measurement, not of the bulk average.)

Yes You Can see the Actual Temperature of the room but make sure the Frequency of the device is compatible with your controller or not

Their is a hole in the cover of the grill. At that point it measures the inside temperature. I would think if you had a hole or made one it would do the job. It was easy installing it.

I think that this would work very well. I have used this to measure temps on computer processors and heat buildup on electrical components. should do what you want.

Yes, but not very well; it operates by detecting infrared radiation from a warm body (for example), and glass will block much of that unless the radiation comes towards the glass at a pretty direct angle. This thing is weatherproof, so if you can mount it on the other side of the glass you will get better results. I had other issues with the device, though, so I sent it back.

I would think so. I have put it in several windows in my home and you can definitely tell a difference. I live in Phoenix so anything to make my house cooler makes me happy. You can tell a difference when you are standing by a window that I haven't put this in and can feel the heat. Love this product!

Yes, this tool see temperatures not anything else so if their is a water leak there will be a temperature difference.

Probably...the difficulty is going to be getting the sensor to be able to read something that is not static....but, will give you a general idea of the temperature, I think.

No. The device uses Bluetooth technology that is relatively short-range (150 feet?). Beyond that, it is just a thermometer. All it does is report the temperature.
