Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a technique that enables the status of components in a smoking substitute device to be monitored through a portable communication terminal (e.g. mobile phone). The smoking substitute device is configured to communicate wirelessly with the portable communication terminal, e.g. via a wireless personal area network, to transmit component status information. The status information is processed either locally or in the cloud to provide feedback or other notifications to a user of the device or to other parties. The component status information is used to calculate a predicted remaining component lifetime. The feedback can enable pre-emptive action to be taken, e.g. before a component of the device fails or reaches the end of its usable life.
