Don't forget Temperature Sensors for your Fridge! (lemmy.world)

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!

Are smart valves on the mains water supply safe/reliable? And any recommendations?

I've never used one for anything but I'd assume it'd at least add a new failure point
