    What are you supposed to use this for?

      I think you use it when you want to measure at distance. For example when measuring the temperature of a flame.

                  Maybe for floor heating, then you dont have to place anything on the floor, and can have a thermostat on the wall, but messure on the floor.

                    Now we're talking! Fireplace temp is also interesting use-case.

                    ...or for the daily medical checkup. Every morning the house says:

                    -- "Henrik, Please stand in front of the temp sensor"

                          @scalz water temperature ? For baby bath ? I'll check if it work with my next coffee. Let me find my ir sensor.
                          I've got one for my 3d printer so:
                          3d printer safety control ! Because we should be next when printing, but we can't.

                            @Pierre P : (wapata???) +1 for 3d printer with smoke sensor ;)
                            for this temp sensor, it could be near a cooker so you know if you forgot to power off, sometimes it happens to me...

                              Check temp of the place on my desk where the soldering iron stands... maybe one day prevents a fire. :P

                                Maybe to check if the misses is ovulating? :) Or human detection instead of a motion detector at the front door?
