Temperature for pools and lakes

How this works

  1. We send you a sensor.
  2. You put the probe (long dangly bit) in your water and secure the sensor enclusure.
  3. The sensor sends readings to the cloud by magic (pssssst: the mobile phone network).
  4. We get the weather for you.
  5. We provide an API that will enable you to display live water temperature readings on your website.
    1. Not ready for that? You get a page like this out the box (click on the temperature “widget” for stats). Although, unless you own Crummock Water, you may choose a different background.
    2. Ready for the API thingy to your own website, but don't know how? We can advise and work with your developers. Alternatively we could simply make it happen.
  6. You get access to our web based admin screens, to view sensor updates and API usage and set up email and/or text alerts when things don't go quite right.
  7. Your swimmers get a live view of your water temperature. And that; is cool.
There is no need for WiFi or a power connection.

About My Water Live

I was taking the temperature at Tooting BEC Lido when someone asked “Do you log your readings anywhere?”. Except for my Strava activity descriptions, I didn't.

Wouldn't that be a good idea? So, I got thinking and talking to people. Within days, the idea became live readings for pools and lakes so that nobody had to take a reading or share a log and you'd know what you're in for before leaving your cosy home.

This wasn't done anywhere. I found that some locations have set up bespoke systems. Others did show water temperature on their websites, but with methods that require manual input - often with someone to be on site. It was complicated.

It was time to make it simple.
