    Chef sorry to hear about this loss. When the refrigeration alarms went off in the grocery stores I was working in anybody that knew what it meant was running for the compressor room. I’m sure someone here can come up with a wifi alert solution for you.

      processhead I’m definitely going to need a wi-fi remote unit. I’m on two acres with many of my refrigeration units in my warehouse about 200 yards from my house.

      With today’s technology, it should be just a matter of picking the right equipment.

      That said, I would appreciate any input this great group has on this subject. Might just be a great issues for all of us.

      Being on 2 acres, you may need some wifi repeaters to give the wireless coverage you are after.
      I know my home wifi won’t reach my outbuilding shop which is 100’ away.

            Dr_Pain This is the time for a real second line.

            I put 52 quarts of Crawfish Étouffée in one of my small freezers. The freezer stopped working for some reason.

            It all went bad. 24 Pounds of crawfish wasted. This is a sad day indeed.

            Chef I have x3 freezers and x3 refrigerators. I use a monitor that will handle up to 8 senders and can be interfaced for remote wf and iphone w/alarms. A setup w 4 senders is apx $60 for the basic system. I think around $50 for the wf interface. Works well for me.

              Chef That is terrible, my God, that is too great of a loss.
              How long was the power down on it? A temp alarm would not be hard to set up & they can be fairly accurate & not too expensive at all. They should give you enough time to do something about the situation, before it is too late as your freezer should keep everything for a few days without power if it is not opened & the seal is working right.
              I hope you can recover on this soon as that is a great loss & not cheap either.

                Sorry for your loss! Check out the inkbird website. They make a lot of temperature sensors and controllers that I use for homebrewing. Many connect to wifi and will send text alerts at defined temperature set points. Some bluetooth versions cost less than $20. Thermoworks also carries similar type products.

                    We pay $14/lbs for cleaned crawfish. I felt the pay INSTANTANEOUSLY!! I can only imagine how much it is out of Louisiana

                      HerbcoFood I guess I need to invest in a few alarm systems. Would likely pay itself off with one incident.

                      Do you have any personal experiences with temperature alarms? Any recommendations anyone?
