OVERVIEW

The Temperature Sensor can be set to detect warm, hot or cold temperatures. This is the ideal sensor to protect against fluctuation in temperature in such places as an attic, basement, garage or secondary home. You can configure Alerts to be notified via Push, text or email anytime this sensor is triggered. You can also configure the sensor to sound a local alarm in the home when the sensor is triggered or change the sound type to a chime or no sound when sensor is triggered.
