I want a senor in my fridge to give me a notification if the hem is to high is this te right flow for this, because when i am running a test nothing happens ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/2/2803bf49e89936ee8d3b256f8a0b6a6b2b844b3d.png) ---

If you are running a test the parameters should be matched, so if your freezer is colder than -3.89 it wont send a notification after 60 minutes. don’t know if the aqara temp sensor is rated for use in a freezer ---

try switching to if the temp is less than -3,89 send a notification to me (not after 60 minutes unless you want to wait an hour) ---

I use the non-aqara version in both freezers and fridges for several months now, no problem at all. Only thing is that the battery level is showing a lower percentage than normal and battery life is getting a bit less because of the cold. ---

I use them for a year now working like a charm battery is still 70 %. I have one putting in a plastic waterproof bag and now I know of I can swim in the pool😃 ---

So just drop them in the freezer without protection? They wont clog up with moisture/ice? ---

Yep. Stuck one on the outside of one of the drawers in one freezer, the other is so tight that i just dropped it inside a drawer. Must say i didn’t have a look at that one for a few months, but it still works… 😛 ---

If you have a high performance freezer Nd the sensor is well inside: maybe temperature is very stable so not changed. Try take it out see what happens And add papertrails app so you cantrack if a flow has triggered. ---

I had one in a plastic bag, in the freezer - after 3.5 weeks it turned to -100c and remained there. ---

Funny Coincidence, I was going to try vacuum packing one next … Though I suppose this should also work (if you are worried) > [@Making an Aqara Door/Window Sensor Ingress Protection](https://community.homey.app/t/making-an-aqara-door-window-sensor-ingress-protection/11551): > > Thought I would share the below with others that maybe looking for an IP rated door/window sensor. I have been looking for an Ingress Protected door/window sensor to go out in the weather on my front gate. Since I could not find any, I’ve decided to try and mod an existing indoor rated sensor. Xiaomi are quite cheap comparing with Fibaro or Aeotec so I gave it a go. I used heat shrink of two sizes to fit both the length and the width of this sensor. 1/ 20mm which I fitted on the width and t… ---

When i said i didn’t have a look, i meant physically. I do check the values of course and the time they were last pushed. Working like a charm, even at more than 12 meter’s from Homey in the freezer in the shed back in the garden. ---

> [@Jamie](#): > > Funny Coincidence, I was going to try vacuum packing Why? (Or was it just a try) The lower the vacuum the less heat conduction. So do not vacuum it to deep. Might sound strange but it could result in overheating the components inside the box. ---

Shouldn’t be an issue with food vacuum packer, given the direct contact and the purpose to cook food through indirect heat. - And the fact its in a freezer. (Though I am still only guessing). I didn’t end up doping it because I was worried that the pressure created when pulling the air out might damage the sensors, (it is a weather pressure sensor after all). ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/e/ee3ed7c4eee0ce7306df7bce76b06fbf851602b9.jpeg)
