Temperature Sensor Installation Guide

Updated 

Overview

The Temperature Sensor triggers an alarm when your home’s temperature goes above or below the temperature range that you set.

We won’t request dispatch of emergency services for temperature alarms, but with professional monitoring you’ll receive an automated call letting you know about the alarm.

Before Getting Started

Before setting up your Temperature Sensor, you will need to install your Base Station

You should also make sure that the surface you want to put the sensor on has been wiped clean and has had time to dry.

The Temperature Sensor should be placed in an area where you want to closely monitor its temperature - like near pipes that may run the risk of freezing or in climate-controlled rooms. We don’t recommend putting the Temperature Sensor near a boiler or furnace, as their residual heat could trigger false alarms. 

What’s in the Box

  • Temperature Sensor with its mounting plate

  • Screws (optional for permanent installation) 

If you want to mount your Temperature Sensor on a wall using its adhesive backing, make sure the surface has been wiped clean and has had time to dry.

If you plan on wall mounting your Temperature Sensor with the included screws, you’ll want to also have a Phillips head screwdriver available.
