## Description

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.

## Review summary

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.
