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!
Would this not require a battery as well, as usually the light is only lit while the door is open.
Making vacation even worse for said battery.
Just leave the door open.
You’re absolutely right and I’m an idiot for not thinking of that :-)
