Product information

Easy monitoring
Depending on the origin and species the terrarium animals need specific humidity and temperature conditions for an ideal keeping. These can easily be checked with Terra Control Solar.

Terra Control Solar
The Terra Control Solar, a digital thermometer and hygrometer, ensures a convenient checking of temperature and relative humidity in the terrarium. The power is supplied by a solar cell. A buffer battery ensures the display is visible after the light is switched off.

Convenient to mount
Terra Control Solar can easily be fixed with a double sided adhesive tape at the desired place. The mounting plate can be fixed on the left or right side of the thermometer/hygrometer, as required. Tip: because warm air rises, the use of 2 devices is recommended; one device at the bottom and the other one in the upper area.

Large temperature and humidity measuring range
Temperature range: -30 to +50 °C. Humidity range: 20 to 99 % relative humidity – HIGH PRECISION – From 0 to + 30 °C: +/- 1 °C Other temperature range: +/- 3 ° humidity: +/- 5 %

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.
