Hi there, I bought a set of refrigerator thermometer alarms that were impossible to set, and the instructions were impossible to read. As soon as I saw your video, I knew that was the product for me. I appreciate you providing such great instructions.
Thank you. Glad I could help.
Thank you so much I was looking all over how to set these things. I also found out that you don't have to go down from 140 you can hit the plus button and it will jump to -40 and then you can continue to hit the + button until you get your desired temp. you don't have to count down from 140 all the way down to -5 etc. Great help Thanks!
I could not figure out how to set the alarm temp. because when I pushed the alarm button to finish the numbers would go back to where they were when I started, but your video made it clear that those alarm numbers will not show during normal operation, Thanks so much for your help. I wish the instructions that came with the unit had said that.
me to bud
@@michael6692 I like knowing the inside temp. of my frig, being able to see it displayed on my kitchen counter is a big help. I have very expensive medication in my frig so I need to keep a close eye on it. Before I bought this device I used a thermometer that transmitted the temp to my wall clock. Ha ha ha. So even when the outside temp was in the 80s my clocked showed it to be 38 to 41 degrees. ha ha.
Thanks for these. I lost my instructions for these and somehow my freezer door got left open and thawed out half of it. So I appreciate you taking the time to make this video so I can reset my alarms.
Thank you! Your instructions are better than than the one that came with the unit.
You're welcome!
Gotta get one of these! Thanks for the info. Ill be back for the programming part of the video.
Thanks very much, the print on the leaflet is too small for my eyes, so your clip for programming was a great help.
I know what you mean! Print seems too small on so many different products right now.
thank you bud i got confused with the recorded temp
Thanks so much. I had no idea what all the numbers were or how to work this. Really well done appreciate this.
You're welcome!
I really appreciate this . Made it simple for me. Thanks!
Glad you liked it.
Thanks good info.. Ben wanting one for my freezer in the garage
good video...small point...when setting high/low alarms, you can just hold down the up or down buttons and it will rapidly change...no need to machine gun them!
Will need to get one of them. Thanks
I think you will like. I freaked out this morning because the max reading in my freezer showed 72F over night. Then I realized I took the sensors out to do the video and while out the auto sensor recorded room temp and I never reset it. I forgot to say in video that there is a clear button for that. lol
Thank you my brother from a different mother . .
Thank you so much for this video! I could not figure out why after setting the min and max temps, the numbers kept going back to something much higher. I had no idea about the 24 hour monitoring/tracking. I was ready to send the unit back.
You're welcome!
Glad to see this order 3 just now. One for our motor home. We have 3 freezers. One outside under our deck. Last summer when it was about 103 went down to get something and found out the freezer had been unplugged. Probably for days, as we figured out how it happened. For the saving grace I had put in 2 frozen 1 gallon jugs of water. They were half defrosted. No harm was done. We now don’t have to run downstairs every few days.
I just told someone else that I freaked out this morning because the max reading in my freezer showed 72F over night. Then I realized I took the sensors out to do the video and while out the auto sensor recorded room temp and I never reset it. I forgot to say in video that there is a clear button for that. lol
Thank you
You're welcome
Thabk you
We have a large freezer in the basement and have had previous issues with power failure, icing up of the evaporator coils (no defrosting), and someone not shutting the door completely, all resulting in some degree of food spoilage. We bought one of these temp alarms and keep the reader on the stove. The other sensor is in our kitchen refrigerator. The other day the refrigerator alarm started to go off due to a poor door seal. The range of these sensors is very good considering the price. They more than pay for themselves by alerting just one high temperature outage. The batteries last for several months, but I would change them out every 3-6, especially the freezer sensor. Never skimp on cheap batteries, always use good brand name alkaline.
It alerted us a couple times. One time, we left our door open a crack as well.
I must have a newer version because to rapidly adjust the temp settings (up or down), I simply push and hold the +/- buttons and the numbers advance quickly. Good video as I found the written instructions a little hard to follow.
Omg I just got this! Thanks
We freeze bottles of water. If the power goes out, put the ice bottles in the fridge and it becomes a cooler.
We do too.
Mine was working great until today. My first sensor reading began to flash on and off? I took the batteries out of the sensor and unit and reset it all up and so far it is working again. Fresh batteries in all units
The only issue I had was when I dropped a sensor. Had to replace.
@@LoneStarPrepping Still doing fine after the reset? I think the metal pan my wife put on top of the basket killed the WiFi signal :)
Any idea if you can use more than one set in the same area?
We have 2 fridges with freezers and 1 fridge and 1 freezer.
I would love to run 3 sets together.
Good point! We tried and it did not work... same frequencies.
@@LoneStarPrepping - ok. thanks!
This device measures temperature ACURATELY?
Thank you very much
Mine does!
How is the battery life on the sensors? I've read some people are not happy with the battery life
So far, so good. Its been 5 months.
Can this device be setup to report to Alexa ? If so please provide a link on 'How to' . Thanks in advance
I have no idea. I already provided link for more info... you may want to check that link.
do you know or does anyone know if the two sensors can be calibrated as mine are about 2 to 3 degrees out of one another
I dont know. I doubt it.
