Learned my lesson after a trip last week… I have sensors for nearly everything, but somehow totally forgot about the Fridge / Freezer.

A power outage made my fridge lose it’s mind and turn off cooling, even after it powered back up. Unplug / replug seems to have fixed it, but all the food was spoiled when we got home. Simple $10 temperature sensor could have saved everything!

    I also went this route. I’ve definitely had better luck with the Acurite sensors than I’ve had with Zigbee/ZWave sensors in terms of update frequency.
