Kestrel LiNK 4+

This app which supports the Kestrel Drop, a solid albeit imperfect product, is an improvement over its predecessor as it provides a look back at calendar day readings. I could be wrong but one thing I do not see that it’s predecessor had was the ability to manually reset the log so one could get the high and low readings for a specific time period, for my purposes, a calendar month. If this is in fact the case, it represents a major shortcoming in my opinion.

App needs more work. My drip never seems to connect automatically, and most times I have to sync the logs manually. Even though I’m in the same house as the drop all the time, usually the same room (it hangs under a crib), I always need to reconnect.
A watch complication would be nice with a reading and time since last update. Then at a glance I could see temp of the drop and that it’s been, say, 4m since the last update.

I’ve also experienced an issue where I open the app and all my data is gone, it was like opening the app for the first time, that was super frustrating the first time it happened. It’s happened again, I’m tempted to blame the fact that I’m on beta software for the problem, but not sure why that would cause the issue in their app.

just got my Kestrel D3 (the one that gives WBGT reading) and downloaded the app. App seems to work perfectly fine. Connects quickly from a fair distance, gives me all the data… easy peasy. Really like these devices. Pretty amazing tech. I got it to monitor conditions where I live after giving myself a case of heat exhaustion working in my yard in the evening when it was 95F with 80% humidity. This device lets me know when it’s a good idea to skip the yard work.
