I'd like to monitor the temps in our motorhome while we are out to insure our dog is OK.Not only have to worry about a power outage, but also need to consider that the AC would **** out.So far, Temp-Stick looks to be a decent temperature monitor, and the only drawback's are you can't pop in on the App and get a real time reading, as it only takes temp readings every 15 minutes, which isn't too bad; additionally, there's no shut off switch, so when you are not on the road, it might be best to pull the batteries. Amazon reviews are decent.Another brand is Elertus, but the reviews on Amazon aren't the best.So, what are you guys using to ensure your pet doesn't fry in the heat while you are out?Thank you,m

MarCell Cellular Connected Monitoring System So easy just plugged it into an electrical outlet. If power goes out or temperature rises in RV you get alerts in email messages, phone calls & text messages to your cellular phones.

The Temp-Stick looks great except when we RV in extreme heat I can't depend on wifi even though I'm connected to Mifi and RV park internet.

The AcuRite 09150 smartHUB will also do the job.It does require a reliable WIFI connection.

What we use: We have a Straight talk hotspot and a Nest camera. We put a thermometer in plain view of the camera and can also see our pet. We can also enable or disable sound so we could hear or talk to our pet if desired. We use our smart phones to view over the Internet. We check every so often not full time . That way we don't consume very much data.

I talked with Nest yesterday as we have NestCams in our home. They said the data use would be extremely high as the NestCam is always transmitting video up to their cloud.

How much data is the nest actually using?
