There are two parts to Clever Logger – loggers and gateways

The loggers sit in your fridges and cool rooms and measure the temperatures. They broadcast their temperatures using Bluetooth®.

The gateway sits outside the fridge. It is connected to power and to the internet. It hears the temperatures being broadcast by the loggers and saves them to the internet. A single gateway can handle multiple loggers.
