Freezer Alarm Recommendation Needed

[Finn16]

Now that the freezers are full, I'm thinking of buying an alarm system to notify me if the temp drops. I had a cheap alarm years ago but quit using it because it was strictly an audible alarm and I couldn't hear unless I was 5 feet from the freezer. My situation is I have a chest freezer in the garage and an upright in the basement. So I need a system that will work with two freezers in different areas of the house. I'd like one that notifies me via smart phone. Any help with what to buy or not buy is appreciated. Thanks in advance and Happy Thanksgiving.

Thermoworks makes good stuff. Not sure which models pair to a phone but I have a few of their standard freezer alarms and a few of the thermometers and have zero complaints.

This is what I use for exactly the same situation as you.

MOCREO WiFi Thermometer Freezer... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09QM4P4VP?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Audible alarm from the station, smartphone notification, and connects one hub to multiple nearby freezers.

I'm pretty sold on the switchbot sensors. I have several in 2 houses, including in freezers. You need an outdoor temp/humidity sensor for every freezer and a hub mini to communicate with them. Once enabled, you can have high and low temp alarms and track temp realtime and look at a minute-by-minute graph of previous temps.

TempStick hands down. I have 3 running on 1 app. Just bite the bullet and pay the $100. Sometimes on ebay for less

MOCREO from Amazon, we have two houses with freezers in each so being able to monitor temps and get alarms on my phone was something I needed. Also looks like they’re on sale for $53 on amazon and come with two probes to monitor two freezers

I have ThermoWorks Node’s. One dual probe for the fridge/freezer and a couple single probes for the stand alone freezers and fridge. You can run them off battery power or plug in. I’ve never had any connection issues. App is easy to use and to set alerts. I’ve never set up the online monitoring but it’s an option. The app has always sent any alerts like low battery or temp alerts just fine.

I’ve been using ThermoWorks products for years for work, in the kitchen, for the smoker and bbq. Good stuff. Good support too of you have any problems.

These are a must have. Lost a ton of meat once to due the kids packing in groceries when they were young. Mine is audible, on my kitchen fridge.
