Despite the unusually warm weather we’ve had so far this fall, the first real cold snap of the season is looming. With winter's cold temperatures comes something every homeowner should be concerned about: frozen pipes. This is a particularly important issue for vacation homes that are left vacant for large chunks of time without a home temperature monitor. 

Keeping electronics clean and dry is best way to keep them working at top performance for many years. You wouldn't expect consumer electronics like TVs and radios to work for very long in many of the applications where our devices are deployed. Although, Sensaphone devices are designed to be rugged and reliable, some models have limitations. We suggest purchasing a model that comes with an enclosure if it will be used outdoors or in a harsh environment. 

The Sensaphone WEB600 system monitors environmental conditions in smaller locations such as server rooms, vacation homes, office buildings and medical storage facilities that are not occupied around the clock.Most often our products are installed by trained installers or electricians, but they are actually simple enough to be installed by most do-it-yourselfers. The WEB600 system has a straightforward setup for the central communications device and sensors. This new video playlist addresses every step of installation and programming.

According to insurance industry research, every day, 14,000 people across the United States must deal with a water-damage emergency at home or work. Permanent impairment to property usually occurs after 24 hours, adding up to $2.5 billion in repairs each year.

We recommend you test your remote monitoring system from Sensaphone weekly to be sure it is functioning properly. This will ensure that when a problem arises the device will be ready to alert the appropriate personnel, saving you valuable time and funds. Sensaphone also recommends that you keep a log of performed tests and provides you with a Test Log template at the back of the product manual.
