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.

I use YoLink brand off of Amazon. Easy to use, great app, and reasonably priced.

I’ll second the YoLink. I have two sensors and a hub. One in the laundry room freezer and one in the garage. I get text and email when either goes out of spec.

 

[jazz3ring]

I have 4 of the YoLink sensors linked to the hub. The entire sensor sits inside the freezer and connects wireless to the hub. There are no wires having to go through the freezer door seals to an outside sensor component.

Happy Yolink user as well.

I got the inkbird setup because I didn’t want the batteries for the sensors to be in the freezer because they’ll die quickly, and the inkbird sensors (model# IBS-th2) have probes so i just have the probes going into the freezer. Then I have the M1 hub connected to my WiFi with the app on my iPhone. I get alerts if the temp rises above frozen.

Use the same. The phone notifications are awesome.

I use Mocreo, can monitor anytime from my phone and get alerts.

I have the same, they are awesome. They also have a lot of other items that can be used with it

I got the Mocreo and am happy with it

Thanks for all the replies. I ordered the YoLink 2 pack. I liked not having a wire running under the door seal. With the Black Friday Deal, and an additional 20% off coupon, it was under $40.

Happy Yolink user. We monitor the temps in the freezers, coldroom with the Coolbot, and the refrigerator. Also the garage, great room, and workshop, mainly for use when we are gone. And finally for water leaks under sinks and water heater plus and around toilets....gave us a house insurance discount.
