The digital solution for professional roof monitoring

RoofInspector is an intelligent monitoring system that keeps an eye on your roof around the clock. Wireless sensor units record temperature, humidity and water ingress at up to 175 measuring points and transmit the data via Wi-Fi to the central master unit with its touchscreen dashboard.

Integrated dew point analysis and the Glaser method to DIN 4108-3, with a database of over 150 building materials, provide a physically sound assessment of your roof build-up – in real time.

Everything at a glance

From the compact roof sensor to the central control unit – a modular system for every requirement.

    High-precision industrial sensors (±0.1°C) – positionable in any roof layer: vapour barrier, insulation and underlay membrane.

  • Water or eaves sensor

    Flat roof: analogue water sensor for leaks and pooling water. Pitched roof: eaves sensor with two-point calibration (dry/wet).

  • Battery monitoring

    State of charge, consumption and remaining-runtime forecast in days – with an alarm before the battery drops below 20 %.

  • Power-saving mode

    Configurable measuring intervals with intelligent sleep mode for months of maintenance-free battery operation.

  • Maintenance mode

    Continuous operation at the flick of a switch – for calibration, sensor replacement and on-site function tests.

System status at a glance

The master unit signals the state of the entire sensor network via a highly visible status LED – no need to look at the display.

Master unit with green status LED

Green – All clear

All sensor units online, all readings within the safe range.

Master unit with yellow status LED

Yellow – Warning

Elevated condensation risk or a threshold has been reached.

Master unit with red status LED

Red – Alarm

Critical reading, water detected or a sensor unit is offline.

App – 24-hour history

Your roof. Directly on your device.

RoofInspector is deliberately a stand-alone system: no server, no cloud, no subscription. Master unit and app connect directly on your own Wi-Fi – or via the master's own access point, without any internet. Your data stays in the house. The app for Android and iOS is fully developed and currently in testing.

  • Connect without technical know-how

    The app finds the master automatically on your Wi-Fi – or simply scan the QR code on the display.

  • Dashboard, history & 24-hour rings

    All sensor units with gauges, daily averages and history curves for temperature, humidity and water.

  • Alarms & notifications

    Set thresholds, dew point and battery alarms. On the home network the app reports warnings, outages and low battery straight to your phone – when you are away, the master's e-mail alert reaches you.

  • Glaser, logger & firmware update

    Edit the layer structure, add your own materials, share CSV logs and update the master firmware directly from the app.

Dew point analysis & Glaser method

Identify condensation risks in your roof build-up – before moisture damage occurs. RoofInspector calculates the dew point in real time and analyses your layer structure according to recognised building-physics standards.

Dew point monitoring

Dew point monitoring

The dew point is the temperature at which air can no longer hold its moisture – condensation is the result. RoofInspector automatically calculates this critical value using the Magnus formula for every measuring point in your roof.

Delta rating (temperature − dew point)

The difference between the measured temperature and the calculated dew point shows you instantly how safe your roof is from condensation. The larger the margin, the safer.

2–5°C

Absolute humidity & ventilation advice

The system also calculates the absolute humidity (g/m³) at every measuring point and compares indoor with outdoor air. You receive an automatic recommendation – whether ventilating makes sense or the outside air is too humid.

Glaser calculation

Glaser method to DIN 4108-3

The Glaser method checks whether and where condensation forms within your roof build-up. RoofInspector calculates the temperature and vapour-pressure profile through all material layers and presents the result as a clear diagram – right in your browser.

Over 150 building materials in 10 categories

Insulation, boards, films & membranes, timber, roof coverings, masonry, plaster & screed, concrete, loose fills and others. Up to 20 custom materials with individual thermal-conductivity and vapour-resistance values can also be defined.

Results at a glance

U-value (W/m²K), total thermal resistance, sd value, total thickness and moisture-protection rating. The Glaser diagram shows the temperature profile, saturation vapour pressure and actual vapour pressure – with critical condensation zones highlighted in colour.

The Dew Point Lab

Try it yourself: set the temperature and humidity – and watch live how RoofInspector calculates the dew point using the Magnus formula and rates the condensation risk.

// Calculation: Magnus formula · identical to the master unit firmware

Dew point10.7 °C
Absolute humidity9.5 g/m³
Delta (surface − dew point)+3.3 °C
⚠ Elevated condensation risk

In the real system, RoofInspector monitors these values at up to 175 measuring points – automatically, around the clock.

Precision at every measuring point

Each sensor unit captures up to 7 readings – optimised for the physically relevant layers of your roof.

High-precision temperature sensor

±0.1°C · ±1.5% RH

Industrial sensor in a stainless-steel housing. For the insulation layer and underlay membrane – where it matters.

Compact room sensor

±0.3°C · ±2% RH

For the vapour-barrier side and the interior at the master unit. Reliable and proven.

Water sensor

Analogue · calibratable ±20 mm

Detects pooling water immediately. Ideal at the low point of a flat roof or on the vapour barrier.
