Is there a reliable freezer temperature alarm solution that works with SmartThings? I've tried the multipurpose sensor in a freezer but it goes offline when the battery gives up due to the cold.

Best answer
A quarter on top of a glass of ice will tell your if your freezer lost power long enough to thaw. A power monitor could warn you right away if you lose power.
