Key features
Everything that can go wrong at an empty cabin.
Temperature, power, humidity and air quality, from one device on one plug. No wiring and no internet needed at the property, just a message when any of it moves outside the range you set.
Temperature
Indoor temperature to ±0.2°C, with alerts when it drops or rises past the limits you set.
Power outages
Know within seconds when the power goes out, and again when it comes back.
Humidity
Watch for the damp that turns into mould, mildew and swollen floors over a closed season.
Air quality
CO2 and VOCs, so you know the air is fine before you open the door.
No WiFi needed
Cellular is built in and included on every plan, so CabinPulse works at cabins with no internet at all. Check your area on the coverage page.
Add-ons for the rest of the property
A leak sensor and an environment sensor, $99 each, connect over 2.4 GHz. Range depends on walls and building materials.
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.
- Prevent frozen pipes and heating failures

Alerts by text message and email
While you can always check in on the dashboard app, you don't need to. Once your alerts are set up, CabinPulse messages you when something goes wrong.

What actually goes wrong at a cabin nobody is at
The heat fails in February.
A pilot light goes out, a breaker trips, the propane runs dry. The building cools from the inside with nothing to mark the moment it started.
A pipe lets go and runs for weeks.
Water escapes at mains pressure and keeps escaping. Whether that is a plumbing bill or a rebuild comes down to how long it ran before anyone knew.
Damp turns into mould over a season.
No leak, no flood, just a closed building through a humid summer, holding what comes in until the walls and soft furnishings have taken it up.
You find all of it on the first trip of spring.
Every one of these is cheap to deal with on the day it starts and expensive by the time somebody opens the door in May.
How it compares to the usual arrangements
Most cabins are watched one of two ways: somebody nearby agrees to look in, or a smart-home kit is wired to whatever internet the property has.
| A neighbour checking in | WiFi smart-home kit | CabinPulse | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tells you the same day | Only when they visit | While the internet holds | Yes, over cellular |
| Works with no internet at the property | Yes | No | Yes, cellular included |
| Works in a power cut | Only if they drive out | No | Yes, 3 to 4 days on its backup battery |
| Watches temperature, power, damp and air | Whatever they happen to notice | A device for each | All four, one device |
| History you can look back at | None | Cloud, if connected | Full record, exportable |
Asking someone to look in works right up until the week they cannot go. The point of monitoring is that the answer stops depending on anybody making the drive.
What it is not
CabinPulse is an unmonitored reporting tool. Nobody watches your readings and nobody is dispatched. It is not a security system, a fire alarm or a carbon monoxide detector, and it cannot heat the building or shut off the water. It tells you what is happening, early enough that you can call somebody 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
Will CabinPulse work at my remote cabin?
If a supported cellular network reaches the cabin, yes. CabinPulse works on major networks worldwide, including Bell, Rogers, Telus, AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon. Check your area on our coverage page, and if it can't connect where you need it, send it back within 30 days.
What happens if the power goes out?
You get an alert within seconds. CabinPulse keeps working on its backup battery for 3 to 4 days and alerts you again when the power comes back. Turn on Low Power Mode and it lasts up to two years on battery, sending a daily update and still alerting you on temperature limits and power changes within a couple of minutes.
Can I monitor the boathouse or a leak under the sink?
Yes. Add a leak sensor or an environment sensor, $99 each. They connect to CabinPulse over 2.4 GHz, and range depends on walls and building materials.
Can I monitor multiple properties?
Yes. Add a second CabinPulse and both show up in the app. If you are managing many properties for work, our sister product Canaro (canaro.ca) is built for that.
How do I set up CabinPulse?
Plug it into any outlet and activate it in the app. It connects to cellular by itself, with nothing to configure.
What does it cost?
$249 CAD ($199 USD) once for the device, then a plan: $17 a month, $168 a year ($14 a month) or $360 for three years ($10 a month). Plans renew automatically, and every plan includes unlimited data, alerts and the app.
