Wet probe/liquid temperature device?

[ritchierich (Michael)]

I had that exact device monitoring my outdoor freezer but got tired of paying an annual fee and wanted something that I could integrate with SmartThings. I ended up using an Arduino and a SmartThings Thing Shield. I documented the project here:

Arduino ThingShield Fridge/Freezer Monitor

Having lost a lot of food and beverages when my previous garage refrigerator failed, I have been a little paranoid about it happening again. For the past few years I have been using a temperature monitor that integrates with a La Crosse weather station I bought. But this solution has been very limited and is mostly false positives and has an annual fee. I get alerted via email when my children go raiding the freezer for ice cream as an example. I recently bought an Arduino and decided to tackle something to alert me based on my criteria instead. Thus the Fridge Monitor was developed. I would assume others in the Community live in areas with warm summers or have young children so I thought I would share this project.
