Moat uses bluetooth, which means it needs to be in range (100 meters in ideal circumstances) of your phone to receive new data and trigger alerts. For more information about the range of the device see the “Technical Info” section below.

While you are away, Moat stores your temperature and humidity data onboard, and then syncs with your phone when you return. This mean that even though alerts will not trigger, you still get to keep an eye on your environment all day long.

UPDATE: We are currently working on a Wifi gateway which will pair with your devices so that you can receive alerts from anywhere in the world. If you would like to be notified when this is available, please email us at info@moat-tech.com and let us know!

Absolutely!  One of the benefits of being battery operated and having such a slim profile is that it can easily be moved from room to room.  You can use it in the nursery one day and your humidor the next.  

Moat S1 – CR2477 (3V) lithium cell battery

Moat S2 – CR2450 (3V) lithium cell battery

When the included battery eventually runs out of juice, it can easily be replaced with this standard battery which you can purchase from Amazon or wherever you prefer.

PLEASE NOTE:If you are using Moat in a freezer, or something similar, the range will likely be reduced. In most cases it will still function just fine, but metal housings can create interference.
