We use it to monitor multiple conditions - ambient, RH, 5C, -20C, and -80C. There is a lot of flexibility in configuration, allowing you to set alert thresholds, contacts, and user permissions for each sensor. While they don't have an app, the website works well on mobile.

The UWYMV uses SensoScientific for our monitoring system. They have a number of different options for monitoring both freezers and ambient room temperatures, and they all work off both a web and app based system. I really like the control they give me. I can
actually set who gets to see which alarms, different levels of permissions, and who gets which types of notices (emails, text, audio alarms). I can also request different types of reports (monthly, weekly, daily), and how often the probes are taking readings.
I did have to work closely with our IT department to get the system into the wifi system here, but that was the best option for our room configuration. </div>

<p>Hi Janaki</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We have our ultracolds and cryo dewars monitored by ADT/TYCO/Johnson Controls (they have been buying each other out so frequently I cannot keep them straight
<span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">😊</span>) through a phone based panel. We have 3 ultracolds and various zones associated with three liquid nitrogen dewars along with room temperature alarms and oxygen monitors all hooked up the same
system. When one of the zones trips, due to high temperature or some other alarm event, we have a call tree that ADT/TYCO/Johnson Controls calls to alert us. They will keep calling until someone picks up the call and responds to the alarm. It is a very
effective system but requires some investment in the necessary infrastructure to run it. You could reach out to ADT/TYCO/Johnson Controls to get a quote for installation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope that helps. Happy to provide more details if needed.</p>

<b>Subject:</b> [Nhcoll-l] Alarms on freezers- particularly ultracolds/ULT</p>
</div>
</div>
<p> </p>
<p>Hello everyone, </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Recently our university risk management has implemented protocol for the management of temperature controlled units, (probably due to insurance losses). One requirement is to have continuous monitoring systems that reports to a phone
number/email if in alarm. While some of our units have audible alarms they don’t all call/email to someone externally. Further, most of our units are not currently (nor optionally) hardwired and monitored by University facilities. So we must come up with a
system. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>As we have a system for room temp and RH on collections rooms, this is yet another system to monitor. Would be great if all could be together, and sounds if some companies are moving that direction, like Conserv. However they do not have
sensors appropriate for ultracolds/ULTs. We turned to InTemp, but find their gateway system less than ideal due to building characteristics (re: thick walls) , that would require and almost 1:1 ratio datalogger:gateway. Further one has to access the website,
not the app upon receiving an alarm, so not terribly user friendly. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I wonder what others are using for their temp controlled units specifically ultracolds. Additionally, what parameters do you set for alarm and recording period (e.g. every 15 mins).</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
