Such data might be interesting to look at, but as long as the freezer does its job (aka keep everything stored within it fully frozen), what's the point in having that data?
- ponker 6y agoSo you know when that assumption is false.
- nickpeterson 6y agoKeep in mind that while They’re not overly expensive, it’s pretty easy to pack a few thousand dollars worth of food in a chest freezer. Might be worth testing it...
- rsync 6y ago"... what's the point in having that data?" In normal, day to day life, I think it would have little value. The use-case I am envisioning here is: you have a high value store of frozen items (meat, etc.) and you leave your home for 20 or 30 days ... When you get back, the freezer is running nicely and everything is frozen and things look great - but what if there were a 3 or 4 or 5 day power outage in the middle of your trip that thawed things out just enough to spoil ? Or what if there were one or more power outages (or brownouts) that you were aware of that were not, in fact, long enough to ruin your stored food ... but how would you be sure ? If you had a time view of freezer temps you could make those determinations easily.
- tzs 6y agoIf you can live with just minimum, current, and maximum temperature instead of a detailed log, this works well [1]. [1] https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004QJVU78/ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004QJVU78/
- Simon_says 6y agoThis is all kind of overkill. Just put a penny on the surface of a cup of ice in the freezer.
