Best temp monitor

[suzymitchell]

We would like to feel safe if leave our two dogs in rv for short period of time . We don’t boon dock so will always be plugged into electric but would like to make sure the temp is always safe for pets . I have looked at many monitors but am Leary of the spotty WiFi at campsites .

Any recommendations would be appreciated !

We have a a Verizon wifi 8800l hot spot. It has an internal battery so if the power goes out it still works. You could use it instead of the campground wifi. There are others who will chime in about a wifi ranger but I don't know anything about them.

A cellular hotspot with battery backup is probably your best bet. It's not an appropriate use for a WiFiRanger.

We are using a mobile hotspot with the RV Whisper Monitoring system. We have four temperature sensors, one each in front and back of the coach, one in the fridge, and one outside; a monitor on the 12V batteries; and it works with our Power Watchdog EMS to monitor the voltage going to the coach. You can set a variety of alerts to send email and text on all of the sensors and EMS.

Another alternate is MarCell. Either Verizon or AT&T.

Don't know if it is the best but we've had Marcell for a couple of years and it has been perfect, including out west in isolated areas.

We used a Sensor Push system. Works extremely well. Used it at Disney to monitor our dog inside the RV and had a wireless camera with 360 motion for viewing. The camera is not part of sensor push. It was one we picked up off amazon with pan and tilt feature

I have it setup with the wireless hub for the sensors which connects to a verizon hot spot. It only cost us an extra $10 a month for that hot spot. I have a total of 5 sensors on the RV. Living room near thermostat, outside temp sensor mounted to back of spare tire mount in semi waterproof case sonit can read temp and humidity and provide shade for sensor, freezer and fridge and the water pump in one of the storage areas. They all have alarms and will alert me remotely if out of my settings.
The nice thing about sensorpush is the sensors work without the hub. So if I do not need remote monitoring i can monitor all sensors via bluetooth. It switches automatically if it does not detect the hub connected to the wifi. Great while driving Ill get an alert if the fridge or freezer goes over limit. Even if the hotspot is off.
For Disney we did this setup because we did not want to leave him in a 3x5 cage at the dog daycare. He had roaming of the rv. If the camera sensed motion i would get an alert. I could then watch him and pan around the RV with the camera. I had presets to make it easier. The sensor push indoor sensor was set to 80 degrees. That was because it gave us plenty of time to get from the park to the RV if the AC failed and we could still monitor him on camera as we were on our way. In a more drastic temp situation we had a spare key outside so we could call Disney to have a campground staff get him out if needed. This worked great for us and has been seamless.

Yep - as many have said - if you have a very reliable WiFi hotspot integrated into your rig - go for sensor push and that is likely good enough.

If you don’t - MarCELL Pro is 100% way to go. It’s Marcells top line which comes with real-time updates, a USB adaptor and we recently got a detachable temp probe which we use to get much more accurate readings. (And even use it for our freezer when not using for the dogs). Worth it to spend a few extra bucks to get top of the line for this stuff.

We had a nimble - has a nice interface but it doesn’t allow phone call alerts and missed a bunch of alerts. When contacting them - just got the run around from their manufacturer in India. Ugh.
