Can anyone recommend a Smartthings compatible thermometer for the fridge so I can be alerted if the fridge ever goes out?
I have a Tapo T310 (Matter bridged) in my fridge. It’s small, the battery lasts about two years, and it uses the 868 MHz frequency, which passes through the metal door like a hot knife through butter.
I use older Iris Gen2 Zigbee open/close sensors on all our fridges (and freezers) for the last several years. No issues with them at all, even with the extreme cold in the freezers.
While not a dedicated thermometer, the added functionality of knowing doors may be left open (causing the temperature changes) is a plus.
I use cheap Tuya ZigBee temperature and humidity sensors with AAA batteries. Batteries last a long time because the temperature and humidity are consistent, so they don’t need to be consistently reporting charges.
This device could be one solution
Any opinions or experiences with these from Thirdreality?
