Re: Refrigerator monitor ideas?



Yes, I was an ADI user, until the tornado ;-(    Let me know if you're
in the market for any ADI stuff.

I currently use an Elk M1G and HomevisionPro.  The TS300 is connected
to a zone on the Elk and the Elk sends a message to the HV unit when
the TS300 high limit is exceeded, and another message when the
temperature is back below the high limit.

On average I get one set of entries per day in my log.  My log is a
POS printer - haven't gotten around to starting up Homeseer again.
The time the freezer is above minimum temperature varies from 5-20
minutes.  I'm guessing this has to do with how many times the freezer
has been opened during the day.  Normally the temp is 0 degrees and I
have the TS300 set to a high limit of 15 degrees F.

The remote temperature sensor for the TS300 is on a long cable -
probably around 7' IIRC.  I just stick it in the door on the hinge
side and try to bury it near the back so it doesn't trip every time
the door is open for a few minutes.  The TS300 is mounted on the wall
near the freezer and shows ambient temperature, and freezer temp if
you press a button on the unit.  You can set high and low llimits for
the TS300 sensor and the remote sensor.  It even has an internal
sounder that can be enabled.
