Temp Monitoring System Offers Peace of Mind
 ✖  |
Curtis Millsap of Springfield, Mo., says he is “overall, very pleased” with his purchase of an AcuRite Weather Monitoring System. The system has been a convenient and cost-effective way for Curtis to keep track of the current temperature in his greenhouses.
The system sends a text alert when the temperature in the greenhouses is too hot or cold, letting him know it’s time to open vents or add more wood to the furnace. “It lets me sleep a lot more,” Curtis says, especially in the spring when tomatoes are being started in the houses. He says the system has reduced the amount of firewood needed by nearly a third because of more adequate monitoring.
The AcuRite system can send text alerts to unlimited contacts, so if Curtis is off the farm, the greenhouse temperatures can still be managed by others.
Curtis purchased a lower-end system from AcuRite for $189 (www.acurite.com) and said that for his farm, it was the best option considering cost, even if the system has some limits in terms of range. Curtis also noted that AcuRite customer service is effective, and he appreciates that the system is not a subscription service. Millsap has been using the system for 6 years.
