Chest freezer alarm

[Rob-c]

Any one have any recommendations for a chest freezer alarm ? Looking to add one in our garage freezer .

I just bought one from Amazon that wasn't too expensive.  Had it for a yr or so works great.  Has two sensors.  One of my freezers is in y attached garage and the other in the basement. Both get a good signal.  

Don't forget to use the Amazon link on this site.

Bought this unit on Amazon, works great . Have it stuck on the side of my frig in the house and it monitors the freezers in garage $28 bucks cheap insurance

I think that's the one I have.

I got a YoLink - 2 sensors. The hub often loses connection but not sure if that's a me problem or an it problem.

I should do this and have been meaning to. I lost a freezer last year that day for who knows how long in the freezer before I realized it. Lost ground beef, venison, a ham and some other stuff.

I better get to Amazon and chuck one in the basket while I'm thinking about it... Cheap insurance!

We recently did also! I actually have 1/2 cow in mine, but 1/4 of it is my sons.

I have two monitors one for the house and one in the freezer . I’ve got about 150 pounds of meat  in the freezer  ,and we go South for two months each winter . It’s nice to check on my phone daily the temperature,plus it’s set for “ alarm “ if the temperature drop to a pre set temperature.

I’ll have to check on the brand .

Not hard to find them on the net ….

No it’s not hard to find them , just looking for a reliable unit . Most are just  ok in the reviews.

I use Temp Stick they’ve worked flawlessly for one year straight so far. The freezer is in the basement and as far from my router as you can get, of course it’s also inside the freezer,I get readings no problem. Hell I check from the beach in Fla .

They’re $125 or so each , but they work ….

typically someone is home so we've just been rocking the basic thermometers in the freezers. if we were to go away though there is risk it won't be caught in time. might look into these.
