Home Use Cases Freeze Alarm for Cabins
Use Case

CabinPulse's freeze alarm monitors your property 24/7 and sends instant alerts when temperatures drop dangerously low - all without WiFi.

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.

What it watches

Every sensor you need is built right into CabinPulse — nothing to add, wire or install.

Temperature

Get a text as soon as the temperature drops toward freezing, in time to do something before a pipe bursts.

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 battery and cellular for two to three days.

When something's wrong

Alerts by text message and email

There is an app, and it works on your phone, tablet or computer. But once your alerts are set up you don't need to open it — CabinPulse messages you when something changes.

The same alert, both ways.

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.

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.

Setting it up

Setup in 60 seconds.

As soon as you connect it to power, it starts monitoring.
