Just got these and the sensor readings agree spot on with the frig and freezer temp settings. Normal variances of up to 4 degrees when we open the doors repeatedly. Good review.
3:21 Thank you for the set-up instructions, I got this as a gift but the instructions say to hold two buttons to set max and min and I had to watch this to find the right way to set it.
I got yolink temp sensors. They were the only ones that work at distance for chest freezer. They have a lot of sensors and other smart home devices. Different frequencies than regular smart home so all work great for outdoors and indoors. Will keep this videobookmarked as option to consider. Nothing worse than losing hundreds of dollars of food
You didn’t explain why the preset temperature on screen changes after the set? Find that annoying. What does Max and Min mean when setting a freezer which is at -5F. I assume +5F is a Max and -10F is the minimum if setting 5 degrees difference or is it the other way around, meaning the colder temperature is the maximum?
max is highest temp freezer can get to before alarm goes off .that temp will be what the preset is factory or what you changed it to , and min is lowest temp , preset or what ever you change it to. So if you change from the presets it is going to show what you set it for as doing that you override the preset temps.
I have this same set. If I take the 2 remotes, and set them on a table alongside the main unit...NONE of them agree. I'm not confident of any of the readings. Is there a way to calibrate these?? Try this, and tell me what you get.
Yea not sure why . but close enough to have an idea . Also if you put it in different places in frig it may read a few degrees different . Would think it would be close to the same in there .
@@wtbm123 I just ran 3 tests at room temperature of the 2 wireless probes against an insta-read thermometer that I just calibrated. What I found is, that 1 of the probes was off on average of .5F, and the other was off an average of 2.0F. 2 degrees off in the freezer is no big deal. But 2 degrees in the refrigerator could be. Might be worth the time to test your remote probes if you use them in sensitive areas. Couldn't find any remote thermometers that could be calibrated.
You wouldn't want to discard your food the instant it reaches 40F. Food can remain above 40F for several hours before you need to toss it. It takes that long for bacteria to multiply to the point where it could cause illness. Some use 2 hrs. as the standard, up to 4 hrs.
