Freeze Sensor and crawl space.
So I didn't fully understand the purpose of the freeze sensor. My thought was I'd put it in the crawl space of my house, but the instructions don't really suggest this. Would the crawl space be an adequate location? Would it not constantly register a freeze warning as a result? Can I return JUST this sensor if it turns out it's useless for my situation? Should I affix it directly to a water line in the crawl space? I'm pretty confused to it's exact use.

I'm not sure the sensor would work directly attached to a pipe - I believe it senses room temp, not the actual temp of something it's affixed to.
SS has a 60-day return policy (from the date of purchase) - if you're within that time frame, you can call and request a return label be emailed to you and you can send it back for a refund.

The (new SS3) sensor can measure down to 0, which implies it will survive down to that point. I tried one in my freezer and it worked fine, but apparently freezers dip below 0 every so often and I kept getting alerts. Still the sensor survived just fine. keep it from moisture though.

The purpose of the sensor is to warn you before your pipes freeze.

I use one in my sealed/conditioned crawlspace (along side a couple of other different sensors) I have there so if the temperature ever drops below 35F I can check the situation and hopefully remedy it before my pipes freeze.
