Will this alert me if the temp drops below a specific mark? I want to use it in my house to alert me when I'm sleeping and if the heat is not working.

I have never seen a way to set the alarm temp besides choosing between fridge and freezer and I have several of these in use. I also find the quality control to be poor as the last two I bought didn't function at all.

No it does not. It allows you to turn up and down the temp, and also set back to the current program temp. Pretty basic but workable.TBH, I listen for the click of the relay in the base unit to know when I've triggered heat...

I wanted to use this thermometer for the same reason - I make my own yogurt and wanted it to alarm when the milk got *down* to the right temperature. This alarm (nor the brand I'd bought previously - a Taylor I think) worked that way. Any temperature set that is below the current temperature just causes it to beep and beep. Annoying. But I learned from making many batches how long it takes for quart jars of milk to cool to the right temperature in my house (which is kept at about the same temp year-round).

If you have an air vent close to the sensor, it will detect the change in temperature from the heater/AC airflow. One of my bathrooms has that issue. Try redirecting the airflow higher so it's not registered by the sensor.

I bought mine for low temperature use. but i found that it would not hold my desired temperature, be the temperature that it displayed (i have a laser heat gun), or stay powered on the entire time i had set. Overall it wasn't a very precise device, i personally recommend looking into any other devices in your price range if there are any, as i would not buy this again for my purposes.

Not sure. I haven't used that feature. But I'm guessing it is used to set when the heater need to turn off not on. I'll let you know on my next post

It should alert you on your humidifier or dehumidifier. Other than that I don't know as it was for my brother not me.

Hi,If you change the mode to fan or dehumidify the current temp will display. Otherwise the temp shows the desired temp, rather than current temp.

Yes; just don't activate the temperature monitoring function. It is a very nice unit. You have to read the instructions closely when setting the unit up.

It is not wireless, it has a sensor that can be remote from the unit, but it is connected by wire to the unit. It does report room temperature, like any thermostat. Not sure what type of alerts you are thinking of, I am not aware of any.

Robert, According to tech support, the indicator light will only come on when power is being supplied to the cable by the thermostat at 38 degrees or less. So in simple terms only when it goes below 38. Hope this helped. Have a great day! Chris B

No it will not call to inform you the power is restored or the temperature is back to normal. The monitor has to be manually reset after it sends an alert. The called person can acknowledge the alert, but the monitor will send a new alert one hour later. You can avoid the hourly alert by using the "disable" procedure but then having someone visit the location to correct the problem and reset the monitor. Hope this helps

Yes it does monitor the weather 24/7. I purchased this for when we are RVing in our camper since the weather is so unpredictable lately. Just read all the instructions because you can program how you want your alerts. We just have it plugged into our home currently. But will be using it in the spring when we can start to camp again.

Yes it will, when the temp drops -1 below your setting, the heater is turned on. The heater is designed to turn off when the temp. touches 2 degrees above the setting.

Yeap!:) u can set to the temperature u want, when it hits 2degress before your settled temperature it will sound of an alarm also.

It is my understanding that it is supposed to be set then it turns off once it reaches said temp. Then when it drops it turns back on. This model I bought did not. I'm sorry about the vauge answer. I was just disappointed with the initial faults, I had to send it back.

You should probably hound customer support, but also understand that this is an unusual question so it might take them some time to get an answer for you. I would assume that it uses a combination of the motion sensor and possibly skin temperature to figure out if you are sleeping, because when I lay perfectly still it doesn't log me as sleeping but lying down. I'm guessing that no (or very little) movement + lower skin temperature (our temperature drops when we fall asleep) is what the device uses to gauge sleep vs lying down. But like I said totally a guess bud.
