Are you always feeling too hot, too cold, or just not comfortable in your home or office? What if I told you there was a gadget designed to help you find just the perfect indoor climate? That’s exactly what the Lufft Comfort Meter is for.
This nifty looking meter combines a thermometer with a hygrometer to display the current temperature and humidity levels inside. The neat part is that there’s a sort of butter zone where the gauges intersect where the climate is the most comfortable to most humans. Assuming you have a decent thermostat, an HVAC system, and and either a humidifier or dehumidifier, you should be able to fine-tune your environment to get the needles to meet in the right spot.
I really like the design of this chrome-trimmed analog comfort meter, but at $149 (USD) it’s quite pricey. If you just want the data, and don’t care about the looks so much, there’s a much cheaper electronic comfort meter available over on Amazon for just about 10 bucks.
