Key features
A pipe bursts at −1°C. You'll know at +5°C.
The point of a freeze alarm is the hours before the damage, not the discovery afterwards. CabinPulse watches the temperature fall and messages you while there is still time to do something about it.
Accurate to ±0.2°C
Accurate enough to set the alarm a few degrees above freezing and trust it.
Freeze alerts by text and email
When the temperature drops below your limit, you and anyone you add get a text and an email.
3 to 4 days on battery
When the power goes out, CabinPulse tells you within seconds and keeps monitoring on its backup battery. Low Power Mode stretches that to up to two years.
No WiFi required
Cellular is built in and included on every plan. Check your area on the coverage page.
Temperature history
Readings every 15 minutes, charted over time, so you can see how the heating holds up through a cold spell.
Your own limits
Set the low and high temperatures that matter for your building, and change them from the app at any time.
Every sensor you need to make sure your property is protected is built right into CabinPulse — nothing to add, wire or install.
Switch CabinPulse on, connect it to power, and monitoring starts instantly.
NewEnable Low Power Mode, and CabinPulse can last up to 24 months without a charge while still sending a daily data update and alerting you to temperature and power changes within a couple of minutes. How it works
Power
Know the moment the power goes out. It is usually the first sign that something else is about to go wrong.
Humidity
Damp builds into mould and mildew over a season. Catch it while it is still a small job.
Air quality
Tracks CO2, VOCs and overall air quality, so you know when the air has gone bad in a closed-up building.
No WiFi needed.
Cellular is included and unlimited, on all major networks worldwide. Your property needs no internet at all.
It keeps working in a power outage.
Smart thermostats and WiFi sensors go down with the router. CabinPulse has its own connection via cellular, and its backup battery lasts three to four days.
Check in, anytime.
Every reading is saved, so you can check the full history any time from your phone or computer.

What actually goes wrong at a cold, empty property
The furnace quits and nobody is there.
A pilot light goes out or a blower fails, and the building starts cooling from the inside. There is no bang and no alarm. The temperature just falls, for however many days it takes someone to visit.
The power drops in a storm.
Heat is electric, or the furnace needs electricity to run. An outage in January is a freeze warning, which is why the same device watches both.
A pipe freezes before it bursts.
Water expands as it freezes and splits the pipe, but the split does not flood anything until it thaws. The damage is done hours before there is any evidence of it.
Nobody finds it until spring.
A burst pipe at an unoccupied cabin can run for weeks. The difference between a plumbing repair and a rebuild is how quickly somebody knew.
How it compares to a basic freeze alarm
Smart plugs and dial thermostats are the usual alternative. The difference is what happens when the power or the internet goes, which is precisely when a pipe freezes.
| Basic freeze alarm | CabinPulse | |
|---|---|---|
| Connectivity | WiFi, which dies with the router | Its own cellular connection |
| Works in a power cut | Usually not | Yes, 3 to 4 days on its backup battery |
| Trigger point | Fixed, often 4°C | Any threshold you set, high or low |
| Accuracy | Approximate | ±0.2°C |
| History | None | Full record by hour, day or month, exportable |
| Also watches | Temperature only | Power, humidity, pressure and air quality too |
A freeze alarm that reports over the WiFi of an empty cabin is telling you about the problem using the connection the problem just took out.
What it is not
CabinPulse is an unmonitored environmental reporting tool. Nobody watches your readings and nobody is dispatched. It is not a fire alarm, smoke alarm or carbon monoxide detector, and it will not stop a pipe freezing. It tells you the temperature is falling, early enough that you can call someone who can.
Setup in 60 seconds.
As soon as you connect it to power, it starts monitoring.

Canadian Armed ForcesToronto Transit Commission Frequently asked questions
What temperature does the freeze alarm trigger at?
Whatever you set in the app. Most people set it between 5°C and 10°C, which gives them warning well before pipes could freeze.
How quickly will I get an alert?
Within seconds. CabinPulse texts and emails you as soon as the temperature crosses your limit, and the same goes for a power outage, which in winter often comes first.
Does the freeze alarm work without power?
Yes. You get an alert when the power goes out, and the backup battery keeps CabinPulse fully working for 3 to 4 days. With Low Power Mode turned on it keeps going for up to two years, sending a daily update and still alerting you within a couple of minutes if the temperature crosses your limits.
Can I monitor a basement or garage on its own heater?
Yes. Add an environment sensor ($99) to that space and it alerts on its own temperature, so a failed baseboard or garage heater does not go unnoticed. Range depends on walls and building materials.
Can I monitor multiple locations?
Yes, with a CabinPulse at each property. They all show up in the same app. If you're managing many sites for work, our sister product Canaro (canaro.ca) is built for that.
