Client is all ready to buy a brand-new freezer, because their appliance friend said freezers don't last more than eight years. Theirs is eight years old and is working fine. They are afraid that if they are away from home for an extended period, they might lose all their food.
Other than CCP remotes for the family room, they have no home automation. I don't think they want to ramp up for this one issue, and I don't want to do a full system and be responsible if the Internet goes down and they don't get a text message when their freezer goes off. I thought I would ask if there are simpler ways to do this.

There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions. |

What the fu-k is wrong with people today. Are they going to buy plane tickets to fly back really quick, run to lowes and buy a new one? Oh shit Lowes closed five minutes ago.
Put a dam penny on top of a small cup of frozen water, guess cubes could work too. If they get home and the penny is at the bottom then they lost there food. If it stayed in top their food stayed all nice and comfy and never had a chance to spoil.
Walk away.

I use a Monnit sensor with a cellular gateway in a manufacturing facility. Works well and has been reliable for the past 5 years. NSF certified if you know or care about what that means.

Well, the appliance salesman is right. The average life span on most household appliances is about 8 years. I learned this after being in our house 10 years. But just like a new tv, they could buy a new fridge, and 3 months later something could happen and it did.
If they are gone long enough at a time to worry about this problem, don't they have a house keeper or someone to look after the house?

RAID F configuration (for freezer). [Link: winland.com]

Honeywell has alarm sensors that measure low temps. Can easily set those up with an alarm panel and control system to send alerts on a trigger. But not much help after reading the second part of your original post lol. Hmmm maybe here: [Link: google.com]

Glad to see this, just took delivery on an X-310 for a project based solely on the fact Houselogix has a C4 driver for it. Intended use is to monitor a hydronic radiant heating system for a snowbird.
