Thank you, Tyler, great points. I’ll play around to see if I can manage to run the probe past the seal without compromising the seal integrity. If I can strip off the leads’ insulation jacket around where the freezer seal will close, this may work even better.
Another issue: I have not been able to get temperature events to generate any kind of ADC notification. I get these events reported to the panel, but not via ADC. The sensor is in Group 51, and my IQ Panel 2 Plus has firmware version 2.4.2 installed. Per the firmware 2.4.0 release notes: “…High/Low threshold reporting for Group 51 now supported by Alarm.com”.
I have tried setting up the notifications two different ways, and neither of these works despite repeated attempts:
- New Notification | Temperature | Temperature Alert | When the device detects a temperature: Above [TEMPERATURE] | For the selected devices: [Freezer Temperature]
- New Notification | Standard | Alarm | When Alarm Type Audible [CHECKED], Silent [CHECKED] | Is reported by Specific Sensor: [Freezer Temperature]
I’m thinking that the former approach is the correct one, as the second one is premised on an alarm condition, and since Group 51 is “non-reporting”, I gather that this does not qualify as an “alarm”. Right?
coo30, it seems you were able to get this to work, per your post here. Does it read to you like I’m doing anything differently…?
