What is the operating temperature of this alarm? Will it work in very hot and cold conditions?

it works as long as your battery works really. have a good battery and this thing will treat you just right

It will probably disarm itself in any conditions. Don't waste your time with these inexpensive alarms. One thing is having an alarm not go off if someone tries to break in your car, another is having your alarm unlock your doors for them, which is what this one does.

I have used it when the temperature was below 0C (32F) and above 32C. Same reading for the tongue weight on my empty Mission trailer, 331 pounds. The screen seems to get a little slower (1 second) responding when it is cold but the reading is the same as when it is warm.

I have one installed in my upper level. I did have a freeze issue in the basement which stopped my heat. The alarm did go off and call but I wish I would have had one in the lower level to prevent some damage. If you find an answer please let me know as I too am considering having two on the same phone line. Will that work?

Yes, you can set both low and high temperature alerts and it will email you and/or send push notices to your smart phone. I also have installed multiple X-10 wireless motion sensors in our homes and the will also email and send push notices when motion is detected. They only cost $29.00.

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.

I don't know but what I can say about that piece of junk is: It developed a problem after about a month Cobys warranty wanted me to ship it to them for service at my expense (which is normal) BUT they wanted me to send them money for the return ship to me. AIN"T GONNA HAPPEN! I sent it back to Amazon for refund and bought another brank thats been fine for, I think 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 years now. I'm sorry but I don't use it for an alarm so can't comment on that.

Nope, only alarms on t he way up. Replaced with a second unit, also worthless in my opinion. Waternow boils at 226 F!

Yes, you can. There are instructions with the device that will make it very easy to call it and check on the settings. You will need a landline phone to set up the freeze alarm. I set mine so that I call home, let the phone ring three times, then hang up. I then call again and the freeze alarm will answer after two rings to give me the status of my home temperature and the strength of the battery backup. The device is very reliable in my experience. It has saved me from freeze damage at least once a year. It calls me and alerts me to cold temperature in the house(the pilot light on the boiler had gone out) and then it called a neighbor, who was able to restart the boiler and keep things safe.

Yes, it operates at very low temperatures and has a defrost cycle, which is why I purchased it. It has survived temperatures as low as 8 °F.

We put the device in freezer right after we bought it in order to test the temperature alert, but the heavy metal door of the refrigerator prevented signal transferring. I believe the device probably will survive the frozen temperature in a freezer, but you probably wouldn't be able to read the temperature because there's no signal. We have been using this device for around a year so far, it works well, so far no issue. Definitely serves the purpose.

No, but mine reads about 5-10 degree high over 150. Also the program features are a joke! Forget the alarm unless you're holding it to your ear. AS a thermometer, it works if you get to know yours. I wouldn't buy another one.

Hi Trader, thanks for your question. It won't give you remote reading and alarm. What we meant is it doesn't have a wire connect to the Thermometer itself.

You can mute the alarm but it will still monitor the temp. If leaving frig off for a while taking batt out would save their life.

I live in az... So cold weather for us is 35f.... It does state in the manual not to operate below about 30ishF (I remember reading it).... As far as tripping breakers: it works fine on a 15A 110v circuit witha stereo plugged in as well.... So maybe it pulls 10A peak when it starts at most... Hope this helps...

The spec sheet says the camera will function up to -22F. I have had these cameras in the low single digits (Fahrenheit) with no issues so far. It also helps that the cameras give off a certain amount of heat.

Apparently not. The alarm seems to activate only when the temperature is above the set point.

I don't need it to operate when the temp is above freezing. I got a thermostatically controlled plug which turns on at 20 and off at 30. Works great!
