( 01 ) WHAT'S INCLUDED

Everything inside Sensor Pack

5 Sensor Slots
Five Govee WiFi thermo-hygrometers feeding live data into THE RACK. Cover your incubator, your main rack, your quarantine area, and a couple of bonus zones. Lifetime access, no renewal.
Real-Time Temperature
Current temperature for every sensor inside THE RACK. No second app, no walking the facility. Your incubator temps live next to your clutch data where they belong.
Real-Time Humidity
Humidity is as critical as temperature during incubation. Every sensor reports both values simultaneously. Track humidity alongside temp for each space.
High and Low Alerts
Set high and low thresholds per sensor. THE RACK flags when any reading crosses the line. Catch a thermostat that drifted overnight before morning instead of after.
Named Locations
Assign each sensor to a named location: "Incubator 1," "Rack Room East," "Quarantine." See exactly which space each reading comes from.
Automatic Polling
THE RACK reads your sensors automatically every 5 minutes. No manual refresh. Open the app and the latest readings are already there. On-demand "Read Now" available too.

( 05 ) WHY THIS MATTERS

The cost of not monitoring

A thermostat drifted 3 degrees overnight. You did not know. By morning, the damage was done. A clutch of eggs that took two months to produce, from a pairing you planned for an entire season, ruined by a temperature swing you could have caught at 2 AM if something had been watching.

A heat tape failed on one rack while you were at work. Eight hours. You came home to cold animals. Some recovered. Some did not. The replacement cost alone was more than everything you will ever spend on monitoring. But the real cost was the genetics you lost. Animals you cannot replace. Holdbacks from pairings you will never reproduce.

Five sensors cover your incubator, your main rack room, your quarantine area, and the two zones you forgot you needed eyes on. For $29, every space that matters in your facility has alerts on it. That is not an expense. That is insurance on thousands of dollars in animals and eggs.

Frequently Asked

Yes. $29 one-time. No monthly fees, no annual renewals, no recurring charges. Five sensor slots with live monitoring and high/low alerts, yours for the lifetime of your account.

Every Keeper and Breeder account gets 1 year of free sensor monitoring with 2 sensors. The trial clock starts the day you connect your first sensor. After 12 months, upgrade to Sensor Pack ($29) or Sensor Pack Pro ($79) to keep monitoring. If you don't upgrade, you can download a CSV of your year's readings before the data expires.

Yes. This pack adds sensor slots inside THE RACK. The physical Govee WiFi sensors (H5179 or H5151) are purchased separately from Amazon or govee.com. Only WiFi models work. Bluetooth-only sensors are not compatible.

In THE RACK Settings, paste your Govee API key. THE RACK discovers all your WiFi sensors automatically. Assign each one to a named location and you are done. Takes about 2 minutes.

Yes. Sensor Pack Pro adds 7 more sensor slots (12 total) plus full Climate Intelligence: per-clutch incubation health scores, 14-day temperature charts with event overlays, climate event detection and logging, tiered alerts, push notifications, and configurable thresholds. Upgrade pricing is $50 (the difference between $29 and $79).

Sensor Pack relies on third-party sensor APIs (currently Govee). If Govee modifies, restricts, or discontinues their API, live polling stops, but everything you already collected stays yours. Soul Serpents, LLC will make reasonable efforts to support alternative sensor brands so you can keep monitoring. Sensor Pack purchases are non-refundable for changes made by third-party sensor manufacturers.
