App Profile: EasyLogCloud

I use the EasyLogCloud system to monitor the Lascar thermohygrometers used on site at a museum. The web client is great and can be configured to send emails when alarms occur; however the mobile app lacks the ability to send notifications when an environment’s readings are out of range. The data visualization of this app are very useful but without real time notification so that a user can make necessary adjustments in order to protect artworks, it’s not as useful or effective as it could be.

I have over 30 LASCAR temperature dataloggers to monitor 24/7 using their paid Professional subscription. While this app is great for getting the information I need, in my opinion, it really, really needs to push alarm notifications to the IPhone or iPad. The web app allows you to specify which alarms receive a text message/email, but my mobile carrier has deemed the ones from EasyLogCloud as SPAM with no way to fix that on my end. They get blocked, so I don’t get notifications. This nightmare started last year with a well-known carrier and is a known issue mentioned other people for their app services. My workaround is using a paid third party push notification app which has been a true savior for this problem. But I still can’t believe that it’s 2025 and EasyLogCloud won’t push notifications during alarm states. I guess the company is still pushing to have “SMS Credits” purchased in addition to the monthly cloud service charges for text messaging notifications. Other thoughts: Would also be nice to offer a custom background option and screen magnification feature as the temperature dataloggers can be hard to see in daylight with the current background options.

Lascar makes a great thermometer but the back end is seriously lacking, antiquated, and frustrating. It’s 2021, it’s not that difficult to develop and enable real time notifications. After all, what is the point of a real time monitoring system if it does not alert you to changes in real time?
