Other cards won’t work, and the device doesn’t support wi-fi, either. If you want to use this product, you’ll need to pay a monthly subscription fee for a Verizon data plan.
However, you can purchase instant status updates for a few cents per update, which feels exploitative in a way. Temperature readings from your device are updated once every eight hours on the platform, but you will continue to receive alarms and notifications in real-time as conditions in your room change. The platform sends alerts directly to your phone when either threshold is passed and will also report when the power goes out.Īnnoyingly, the MarCELL Cellular Temperature/Humidity Monitor’s web service doesn’t actually let you read live temperature reports. Notifications are managed through the MarCELL website, where you can set high and low thresholds for the device’s temperature alarms. Throw it into your car, and you can bring your pet along for trips to the store.īesides temperature, the MarCell monitor also measures humidity and detects power outages. Though it’s built to operate as a permanent fixture, whether in your home or a camper, its light weight and long-lasting battery make it perfect for quick errands, too. It’s powered by a lithium-ion battery that allows for 30 hours of uninterrupted use and weighs only 9.6 ounces (about as much as a can of soda).

I have no "skin in this game." I think it's just a neat device & like most folks, I see my pets as members of my family. You could simply disable the "power lost" notification while maintaining the "High/Low Temp" notifications for times when you need to do something like a step into a store for just a few minutes while leaving your pet in the vehicle.Īgain, I'm not paid to say or share any of this and I plan to hand this Waggle device to a customer here at Haylett RV with a pet as a gift.
this could be something that doesn't HAVE to be plugged in.
#Rv temperature monitoring system for pets update#
Upon the app's next update I once again received notifications of the updated higher temperature and "power lost" (since it wasn't plugged in still). The temperature in my vehicle was much higher than in the RV. And since I did not have the device plugged in & just operating on its internal battery I was also receiving notifications that "power had been lost" in the RV. Very quickly I began to receive alerts indicating the temperature in the RV was unsafe for a pet. I placed Waggle into an RV on our grounds at Haylett RV. After only maybe 5 minutes I had registered the device, selected a service plan, picked my notifications, and went back about my day. Searching thru the settings menu I was able to very simply identify the notifications options, choose those that best fit my needs, and basically just forget about the device. Here I was able to monitor the temperature and humidity in the RV where I placed the Waggle device. Initially, I felt almost overwhelmed with the app, but then I realized 99% of what I need and want from the app is available thru the "Safety" tab at the bottom of the screen only a tap away. Activation was extremely quick & I was in business almost immediately.

The setup was fast and easy taking only minutes thru the free app. I'm a fan! If I were a person who camped regularly with pets, then this is definitely something that I'd consider among my RV's accessories. I wanted to see if it really lived up to all of the hype and marketing that I read online.Īnd I will say. But as an avid pet owner and regular RV'er myself, this product really spoke to me. I don't do many gadget/accessory reviews like this.
