Sensor Sends Notification to INSTEON Devices When Refrigerator Fails
The Minotaur Engineering IRF1 INSTEON Precision Refrigerator Failure Sensor provides a way to sense inordinately high temperatures, when the door is left open or the early failure of a residential refrigerator. It interfaces to a standard I/O Linc device (purchased separately) and triggers INSTEON devices based on user settings. Simply place the sensor in your refrigerator and carefully extend the wire leads out the refrigerator door through the weather stripping and attach the wire leads to an I/O Linc. From there, you can have the I/O Linc module send out INSTEON commands to other INSTEON controlled devices such as a LampLinc or an ApplianceLinc to turn lights on in the event that the refrigerator’s temperature rises to an unacceptable level. The Refrigerator Failure Sensor can also be used to trigger other devices on your INSTEON network.
