How is this not reactive??

Everything that acts before the consequence is preventative. You can stop the consequence and not lose your frozen items.

Everything after the consequence is reactive to the event. Your shit is ruined, but you can make the impact less bad. Your get confirmation your food is no longer good so you don't eat it and get six.

I noticed on all of the freezer monitors the monitor stays outside, and a probe goes on the inside (I was thinking the whole thing goes inside). Are there any issues with the probe wire causing the freezer door to not seal correctly?
 
Following for sure. Just cut up a whole hog and the boy left the door open overnight after he got some ice cream.

I just got a giant chest freezer because of that trick. I found the quarter at the bottom of the (frozen) glass in my old fridge/freezer in the garage. Whats crazy is I was around the whole time, and used the freezer almost daily. I never noticed anything weird, just the quarter at the bottom of the glass one day. I'm pretty sure the meat never thawed out. I have pretty much ate it all by now, and I'm not dead :flipoff2:
 
I Scrolled through all the blah blah posts

Yea a penny tells you that you are fucked. But it doesnt give you a chace to save anything:homer:

Also fwiw plug into a GFCI outlett and you are rolling the dice. I lost a chest freezer full of meat learning that...

A while back, I tried just putting some govee monitors inside the freezers, doesnt work right even with liion batts. Later, govee made some cord dealies for just this thing.
These work great and are reliable. The alarm setting options are low enough to work for freezers, the old govee alarms didnt.

The cord does impact the seal at bit where it passes through. Not really a problem with my chest freezer. The fridge-freezer is a defroster model, again no real issue. My upright ends up with frost at the top of the door. Not crazy bad, but enough that I look for ways to solve it.

I think the chest freezer isnt having an issue as the seal is at the top of the chest. I tried moving the wire to the top of the upright door seal, but didnt see much of any improvement. Havent come up with a fix yet. Thought about drilling a hole through the side of the box, pass the wire through and silicone seal up the hole. Kinda invasive and relatively permanent, and may not work, so havent yet. Any other ideas?
