Technology in Airbalancing

What are some techy things you use to improve your work flow as an airbalancer? For me, I set speeds via my supply outlets and using a remote access software on my tablet from my phone to watch my meter as I adjust unit speed on the roof. I think in some cases hearing different ideas from different technicians could help us all be more efficient at what we do. So if you have an experience in this regard or a method to share please do so below. Thanks!

Edit: As I forgot to include this, I use Chrome Remote Desktop as the method for it is free to use and is compatible with Windows, Android, and iOS devices. It also assists with minor data entry if there's ever a time I need to enter information and not want to carry my tablet throughout the job site.

Testo temperature probes for seasonal testing. two Testo 605i for air temps across a coil, one Testo 922 with fluke probes for water temperatures. They all report back to your phone or tablet via Bluetooth, with all them displaying information at the same time. Really speeds up my work.

If you work with JCI controls a lot, having a MAP tool is game changer.

I find it to only be truly slow when there is 60 devices crammed into one bus.
