HOBO® MX2300 Series Data Logger Manual 

20923-1 

The HOBO MX2300 series data loggers record and transmit temperature and/or relative 

humidity (RH) in outdoor environments. These Bluetooth® Low Energy-enabled loggers are 

designed for wireless communication with a mobile device. Using the HOBOmobile® app, you 

can easily configure the logger, read it out, and view data on your phone or tablet, or export 

the data for further analysis. The logger can calculate minimum, maximum, average, and 

standard deviation statistics and be configured to trip alarms at thresholds you specify. The 

logger also supports burst logging in which data is logged at a different interval when sensor 

readings are above or below certain limits. The Temp and Temp/RH models have internal 

sensors while the External Temp/RH, External Temp, and 2x External Temp include built-in 

external sensors, offering a wide range of solutions for monitoring outdoor temperature and 

RH.
