Low temp monitor

An alternative would be to pick up a thermometer with a remote sensor.

We use a similar unit to this to monitor the utility bay temp and outside temp. Set up 1 or more temp sensors before you leave and hand the base unit to your neighbor. Quoted range is up to 330'.

This is not the one I bought which was adjustable but should work for you. FREEZEFREE

The ones I bought were Honeywell CW200A Winter Watchman units but I don't see them on the Ace site either. They did have to order them but they found them in their catalog.

Amazon has them Honeywell Winter Watchman here.

I have searched the Ace website and can find nothing that works on temperature setting.

Do you recall the brand name?

Thanks

Nick

I got two of them from ACE hardware for the house at a commercial peach orchard we inherited.
We set them at 45 degrees and they activated lamps placed in windows plugged into them. The neighbors watched for the light and would have called us if they lit.
We didn't worry about battery power for them because the neighbors would let us know if there was a power outage.

you need a 12 volt battery.. Can be lead acid or it can be a "Dry cell" (photo flash may well work) These are often used in Photographer's equipment and in some Smoke alarms.

You need an LED light string, one that has that "long running" feature you mentioned.. I have a pair I got at a store called Meijer (Mich, Oh, Ky) for like fifteen bucks, these are abut 5-6 inches long and either come on constant (My install) or "Chase" (the other option). (Chass means the light runs down the strip) I use 'em as step lights (Door open light on lights).

ANd a thermostat to sense low temp, One of the little DISC jobs should do, Electronics parts stores often have 'em in assorted temps

I do not think I need to tell you how to hook 'em up.

Ground---battery---Temp switch---LED---Ground.

Very Nice

Hi Nick,

There are devices that will dial a telephone number to warn you of low temperatures. Some of them can be programed for multiple numbers.
