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!
A fridge that can handle a temporary power outage wouldve saved the food.
We’ve had quite a few temporary power outages before and there’s been no issue when it comes back up. I still have no idea what happened this time. Like I said, even power cycling it again was what “fixed” it (at least for now).
