Gyakran hiányoltam azt, hogy a mobilommal nem tudtam mérni a környezetem hõmérsékletét. Az Accuweather és más appok nem jók erre. Nyilván egy
beépített csip sem lenne jó, mert az a felmelegedett iPhone hõmérsékletét mérné. Én valami olyan külsõ kütyüra gondoltam, amit be lehetne
csatlakoztatni a USB-C csatlakozóba, egy ahhoz írt app mutatná a hõfokot.
Nem akarok s ehhez egy manuális hõmérõt cipelni magammal.

Sorry about the earlier post. As I am bilingual, sometimes I forget the
right language to use. So here is the English version:

I often missed the ability to measure the temperature near me with my
mobile phone. Accuweather and other apps are not good for this.
Obviously, a built-in chip wouldn't be good either, because it would
take the temperature of the heated iPhone. I was thinking of some
external gadget that could be plugged into the USB-C port with an app
written for it that would show the temperature. I don't want to carry
around a manual thermometer.

There are so many apps that interface to an external thermometer, that all
you need to do is pick the specialty thermometer type that you're seeking.
<https://www.amazon.com/s?k=thermometer+with+phone+app>

While all thermometers have their pros and cons based on their design and intended use, there are also, as you noted, apps that work solely on the
phone.

For example, this is a well-rated free adfree gsfree thermometer app.
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=asav.roomtemperature.us>
Here's one (of many) for the iOS operating system (dunno if it works).
<https://apps.apple.com/us/app/thermometer/id357949214>

Why not test one of those free ad-free apps and let us know how it goes?

Following your tips, I discovered one device I like. It is called
SensorPush and works with Bluetooth connection. It is really small and uses Bluetooth connection. It costs $49.99 in the US. Unfortunately they would charge almost as much for VAT and shipping it to me in Hungary. I also
looked at Amazon’s German affiliate that would not charge me those extra
fees due to common EU membership, but they don’t carry it (yet). I guess because it is so new even in the US. So I may wait for a while to see if it shows up in the amazon.de portal soon.

Thanks for reporting back since I was sincerely trying to help you as I'm a kindhearted person who spends energy for those who are worth the effort.

When you first posted in a non-English language, I thought I remembered
your moniker - but I didn't have you listed as a troll - but I saw that you accidentally posted in another language so that explains my confusion.

As for temperature probes - yes - you're correct almost certainly that any
app that runs purely from the phone's sensors will be affected by the heat
of the phone. So I understood why you needed an external sensor.

I like the concept of a separate thermometer tied to a phone (as it can log temperatures over time, for example), so I will look for one for myself.

I get everything off of Amazon lately for free so maybe I'll look to see if Amazon Vine has a remote thermometer that Android or iOS can make use of.
<https://www.amazon.com/vine/about>

While Amazon keeps their Vine algorithms secret, it seems to me if I look
for a widget, and if it's not there, if i *keep looking* for that widget, eventually it shows up in my "Recommended for you" set of free goodies.
<https://i.postimg.cc/fbS79Y7M/phone.jpg>

So I'll start looking for "cellphone thermometer" or keywords like that.
<https://i.postimg.cc/vTBtD5DL/thermometer.jpg>

Let us know how it works out & I'll let you know how mine does too.

That way we all help each other like a well-honed communicative team.
(But I have to fight my wife & kids to get the good stuff on Vine!)

It’s a deal!
This gadget I found on Amazon also has a companion WiFi device that would allow to read the temperature remotely, so I might eventually buy that,
too, if the need comes.
By the way, I’ve just read that Google installs a new infrared sensor in
its Pixel phone that allows using their phone to read room temperature
without any external gadget. It sounds interesting, but I think it can
probably read the surface temp of objects really, not of the surrounding
air temp.

As to my inadvertent use of Hungarian text in my original post,
unfortunately comes fairly often when I am distracted. It’s even worse in speech. Such is the life of an expat.
