Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I wonder if there's a way to enable push notifications on Inkbird. I know I have them on my Inkbird BBQ thermometers.
Yes, this is what I was trying to convey lol

Shelley was asking for a cheap alternative to the hydros system, for letting her know about power failures. This will let you know when your temp falls after a power outage.

Yep.
 
Should have the same:

I understand that. Im saying if your inkbird goes our, you're going to see a difference on the app. It's not going to continue to give a temp reading. At this point, im going to assume my power is out
You guys !! It looked like you were ready to fight but then you came to an understanding . True friendship . Plus everyone else gets educated . 😍🤩

We weren't fighting, we were discussing. Neither one of us was upset.
 
Did someone say chili dog, no? Well here’s one anyway. I broke out the fine china for a better presentation like Paul but no way am I cutting it into bite size pieces.

Looks yummy! We had left over soup and cornbread.

Aren't the BBQ thermometers Bluetooth? That only works within a few hundred feet.
 
What you're saying works for sure. It's an easy way to see that, at a minimum, WiFi was lost. All she'd need to do is make sure she has it display on her screen. She'd just need to make sure either she or the shop owners check throughout the weekend.

If hers has push notifications (which it looks like all of my wifi Inkbird stuff does) that makes it even better.
The one thing that all of these miss is that you don't know whether you lost power or just WiFi, or internet. At least though you know you'd better check it out.
 
But you still won’t know whether your out of power or whether your heater is out
My take is either use a controller like a Hydros X2 or a dedicated power monitor. I would not rely on an Inkbird as a power monitor. Use it for its intended use, a temperature controller with notifications.

I didn't even consider being upset. I was just having a terrible time getting my words out. If anything I was upset that my inkbird might have been a hunk of junk

I know im splitting hairs, but wouldn't your phone show that it was disconnected from wifi usage if it was wifi and not power?
