Features & Capabilities

CI Smart Sensor is a humidity management system designed for cigars. It continuously gauges humidity and temperature inside your humidor or container, providing access to vital readings without opening the lid. It uses Bluetooth Low Energy to pair with your iOS device and sends push notifications when readings fall outside your customized ranges or if tampering is detected.

Review hourly, daily and monthly trends to adjust for seasonal changes or newly introduced valuables. Once linked to your iOS device, your sensor keeps watch even when you can't, helping you protect what matters most.

User Reviews

CI Smart Sensor delivers simple setup and real-time humidity tracking for cigar humidors, with praise for its design and easy calibration. However, users repeatedly report friction after updates: required online account and login failures, unreliable or delayed readings and loss of history, inconsistent push notifications, a disliked UI redesign with slower startup, and noticeable battery drain. Privacy concerns are also raised by some about data collection. Overall, it works well when it functions, but ongoing reliability and accessibility issues keep it from being consistently dependable.

Pros

Simple install and real-time humidity tracking.
Cigar life becomes easier with the Butler.
Calibration is straightforward and yields good accuracy.
Nice design, affordable price, and a cool app.
Works across multiple sensors/units and scales well.

Cons

Requires online account and login issues after updates.
Readings/data are not reliable or not real-time; historic data is lost after updates.
Push notifications are unreliable and often don’t arrive unless the app is opened.
New UI/design is slow, clunky, and many users prefer the old analog hygrometer.
Notable battery drain and higher background power usage.

Worked well for a couple years. Then just stopped. Said it was asleep to shake to wake up. I did nothing happens. Changed battery, nothing happens. Just doesn’t work. Sucks cause I liked it. I’ll look for a different one now though guess.

Opened my humidor and realized things were getting dry. Grabbed my phone to check the humidity and the app wouldn’t let me open it. Says bad username or password. Tried to reset it but it wouldn’t ever send me a link to do so. So now, I have a humidor and no way to monitor the humidity because I have to log into some account before it will access my Butler. And, no one responds to my request and no other way to reach out for help.

I love the functionality of the app and the sensors but I discovered (via iPhone’s battery stats) that it was one of the top five apps consuming my battery life and the number one app doing so in the background. I thought I could resolve the issue by turning off Background App Refresh (which does impact functionality). It did help but, surprisingly, it still draws a more than insignificant amount of battery IN THE BACKGROUND despite having Background App Refresh turned off. I cannot recommend it until they resolve the battery drain issue.
