I’m searching a sensor for the fridge, which works with my homey and shows me the temperature. The fridge is in the cellar. I have wifi in the cellar, but zigbee, z-wave are not working. The homey is too far away. Which sensor for the fridge with WLAN can you recommend? ---

First of all, if you want Zigbee and Z-wave to work in the basement too you should just add lamps or smartplugs all the way down to the basement. They will create a mesh network. For WiFi; check out Shelly’s temperature sensor. Zigbee: Aqara’s ---

Hi, thanks for your answer. Do you mean this shelly sensor? And this sensor, I can place in a fridge? Is this sensor easy to add with the homey shelly app?

You also have this one below. I even use it in one of my freezer: It’s IP65 waterproof as well. I use it with Switchbot Hub.

I have an Aqara T1 sensor in my freezer. Works perfectly, even when the freezer was set to -21°C… Specs say -20°C, also sufficient for mostly advised optimal temperature of -18°C. > **[Door and Window Sensor T1 - Aqara](https://www.aqara.com/en/door-and-window-sensor-t1)** > > Door and Window Sensor T1 Overview Specs FAQ User Manual ---

I use the Aqara temp sensor ![Screenshot from 2024-10-31 01-24-03](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/a/ea037f48939c66358dd045dbded49b11e30912b3.png) for several years in the freezer, but it’s not the preferred wifi enabled sensor. The Door/window T1 sensor is zigbee enabled as well if I’m right. > [@feRon](#): > > the fridge But @feRon while I assumed the sensor needs to be able to operate at -20°C: is the fridge a fridge (7°C) or is it a freezer (-18°C) ? ---

It‘s a fridge, not a freezer 👍 ---

OK! In that case the Shelly H&T would do 😬 Sorry for the useless info earlier 😅 ---
