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!

    Water sensors are the big one for me! I have a mixture of old SmartThings ones, and cheap ThirdReality branded ones (that seem to work fine still!)

      My govees were cheap and I needed a ton of them, 13. They got great reviews. Wish they would integrate w HA but not currently without trying with rf reader and it’s too important for me I didn’t want to risk this. Last year went to Hawaii for 2 weeks and this is the reason I bought this stuff.
      The fridge and water sensor stuff is to important and should have had it years ago.
