A Guide to the New AUDIT-MATE Program
In January 2020, Purkay Labs combined their Optimize Macro, AUDIT-MATE and WIFI-MATE programs into a single program - called AUDIT-MATE 2.0. This program now integrates all the latest features for greater ease in configuring, reading, and exporting critical data. Whether you’re tracking temperature, humidity, or airflow, these enhancements make data management more efficient and actionable than ever. Here’s a breakdown of the powerful new features released as of November 2024.
Configuration
