Thermohygrometers are very common in life and are among the first batch of products connected to smart homes and AIoT. But for music players who have wooden instruments, there are not many choices of professional thermohygrometer for musical instruments on the market. Xiaomi Youpin has today launched the Qingping·Li Guitar Bluetooth Thermohygrometer designed for guitarists by Li Zongsheng and his Li Guitar team in cooperation with Qingping Technology.
The thermohygrometer has a reminder of temperature and humidity exceeding limits and can be viewed in real-time. It also stores 30-day temperature and humidity records, equipped with a high-precision sensor and a magnetic design that can be attached to the guitar soundhole.
For wooden musical instruments such as guitars, the suitable storage temperature is 20-25°C and the humidity is 40%-50%. When not kept in the proper storage environment, wooden musical instruments are prone to deformation, cracking, and glue. Repairing wooden musical instruments with deformed panels is expensive, and even if repaired, the tone will change. Thermohygrometers can better help musicians maintain their instruments. Traditional thermohygrometer products are not specially built for musical instruments and cannot be easily fixed on the body of the instrument. When the instrument is moved, it will shift in the cabinet and collide with the body.
The new thermohygrometer uses TPU soft glue with magnets which can be attached to the guitar soundhole and fixed on the guitar panel. At the same time, the sensor can detect the temperature and humidity inside the guitar.
The device has a dedicated companion app and also supports the MIJIA App. The app enables remote monitoring and over-limit alarm functions. Equipped with a high-precision Swiss Sensirion sensor, when the temperature and humidity exceed the set range, it can alert the mobile app to remind the user to change the guitar storage location. At the same time, you can view the 24-hour temperature and humidity records and remote monitoring stored in the app. The temperature and humidity records can be retained for up to 30 days.
In addition, the Qingping Li Guitar Bluetooth Thermohygrometer uses a very low-power Bluetooth 5.0 sensor and a CR2032 button battery that can work continuously for 8 months at room temperature without worrying about battery life. The TPU soft glue connection material used in the fuselage can withstand more than 5000 bending times and has a long life. The temperature and humidity display is an electronic ink screen, which has low requirements for ambient light and can be used in all scenes. It can be clearly and easily read even in direct sunlight.
The device is priced at 199 yuan (~$29) and is presently available on Xiaomi Youpin.
