Anything else I should check?
Just because nobody asked:
Used to have one of these too.
not what I expected to see in the comments of this post
How about that? Did you expect a hamster in infrared?
No.
Nobody ever does…
…sigh.
I have a phone with a thermal imager too!
I mostly use it to brag to people about how I have a phone with a thermal imager!
But here is a demonstration that glass will reflect a bit of thermal radiation, but is completely opaque to thermal behind it:
As long as you aren’t touching the glass, wherein the glass will conduct your thermal signature:
And then if you take the hand away, the signature remains on the glass for several minutes!
As a bonus, my phone also has a microscope, and I learned that my facial hair is sometimes triangular:
Corners of rooms, especially outside corners and wall sections behind furniture and then compare them with the dew point in the room.

If the walls are colder than the dew point, you’ll get condensation.
I’m dealing with this exact issue right now. I don’t have thermal imaging, but I used an IR thermometer and recorded temps as much as ten degrees lower in the places with water staining than in other parts of the wall/room/house. Any tips for finding the leaks/improving insulation? Right now my best idea is cutting holes in each cavity and blowing in insulation, but I’m not an expert at all.
Nah, sorry. So far I’ve only been living in houses made from stone and concrete, I have no experience with improving insulation in framed buildings. Someone else, maybe. Sound like just adding insulation isn’t a great idea though as that will push the dew point into the wall. You’d have to separate the insulation layer from the humid air inside at the same time, otherwise you’d just get the water in the insulation and therefore wet insulation and mold.
Looking for a phone with this, a Geiger counter, and a light spectrum analyzer
Also a hardware keyboard, headphone jack, and runs Linux
It also needs to be under $50
And here I am using an IR thermometer like a cave man
Any IR thermometer is a thermal camera with enough patience and a few color pencils.
Check where the heat loss is occurring in your house.
For fucks sake
I don’t get it. What is that?
Edit: For those that don’t know, they are referencing a meme . If you don’t know the meme, you probably won’t find it funny.
Pixel8 has a thermometer built in.
