Looking for a remote refrigerator temp sensor

Howdy All,

When our rear slide is in we cannot access the refrigerator. We have a couple of long trips coming up so I'd like to able to keep on eye on the temperature in the refrigerator when we stop at the rest parks.
Does anyone make a temp sensor I can put in the fridge and then I can use the bluetooth on my phone to access it ?
thanks,

Seems like one of these would work but I have no personal experience with using them to monitor the fridge.

I would go with MikenDebbie. I have done this when I am getting ready to load at the start of a trip. I can tell if the fridge and/or freezer is good to go. Just keep the remote readout by the door and easy/peasy. (And cheap)

We have the accu-rite, not blue tooth but easy to read right by the door, also with max and min readings so that when we are away, when we return we can see if there was an issue.

We too use the Accurite to monitor both the freezer and refer compartments. Yea it doesn't do bluetooth but it can be mounted close to the entry door where it can be seen easily.

Thanks everyone, I ordered the Accurite monitor. Seems easy enough to use.

We have this one. Has good range, about 100'.
We keep one sensor outside, one in the battery compartment and one in the underbelly (via the plumbing hole under the sink).
