Don't forget Temperature Sensors for your Fridge! - Lemmy.world

Learned my lesson after a trip last week… I have sensors for nearly everything, but somehow totally forgot about the Fridge / Freezer. A power outage somehow made my fridge lose it’s mind and turn off cooling, even after it powered back up. Simple $10 temperature sensor could have saved everything!

Might be a dumb question since I have no experience with sensors. What would you have been able to do if the received an alert while you were out of town is the sensor able to turn the fridge off and on? Is that what you meant by “simple $10 temperature sensor could have saved everything”?

You could then call a friend or family member and ask them to check on it.

Ah makes total sense. Going to start looking into sensors for my house now. Anymore obvious locations that haven’t been mentioned yet?
