I would like to use this in a freezer. What is the lowest operating temperature the unit can handle? Also, one answer to a question said you needed a phone. Seems like an Internet router would be all that is needed, correct?
Also, what is the cost of additional sensors? We have 1 refrigerators and 1 freezer (all in one room), so would need 5 sensors total. Thx

Fantastic Device
I was looking for a device to alarm me in case of a loss of electricity or dramatic spike in temperature in my wine cellar. This device fits the bill! The wireless device works through many walls and 50 feet away flawlessly. It texts me if certain triggers occur like a rise in temp over 60 degrees or a spike or fall in humidity.

packaging says the probe is optional and that the sensor inside the wine fridge should work without the probe. Couldn't get it to read temps without using the probe. Multiple calls to their customer support line with delays measured in days for a return call
