A connected thermometer is a digital device that measures temperature and can communicate with other devices via the internet or Bluetooth. It allows users to monitor temperature readings remotely through a smartphone app or computer, making it convenient for various applications, such as cooking, home heating, or monitoring a baby's temperature. These thermometers often come with additional features, such as alerts for temperature changes and data logging over time. Some models can even integrate with smart home systems, enhancing their functionality and providing users with real-time information about their environment or specific tasks, like cooking meat to the perfect doneness.
