The website (where you create an account and pay for your annual subscription) is pretty clunky. But this is a great product that worked perfect during a recent power outage. Great way to inform you of a critical power failure if away from home.

For my commercial greenhouses, we have started using these. We have uses Sensaphone for the last 25 years but wanted to ditch the land lines and running wires to all 7 greenhouses. So easy to set up and lets me know right away if the power goes out or the temp goes below my set point. I like that I can have a seasonal plan for just the 6 months where it is vital to keep track of heat and power. Love these!

Bought this for our RV because we have pets. Easy setup and the app/webpage are simple. You have up to 9 notifications with the options email/phone/text. I tested with all 3 and they are fairly quick. Now the downside, the price. If you pay for the whole year it's $99 and seasonal is 11.95/month billed in advance. If you pay monthly it's $14.95. If you want an instant update of the conditions to the dashboard, you need to pay for each update @ $2/8 updates. Since none of this is mentioned on the sales listing, I would say it is borderline misleading.

Using this in our RV to ensure temperature remains safe for when our pets are in there. Signals you when temp is out of range or power goes out. It’s quick to respond, when I unplug the RV to travel I get a text message within one minute that the power is out. Price point of purchase and flexibility of monitoring plans is one of the best on the market.

This works just as described and it is great! This device is designed to alert you when the temperature or humidity goes out of your own set range. It is not designed to check status in real time at any given moment, however you CAN do that for $0.25 each time which is incredibly cheap. A subscription is required to use this device, and you can choose one month or one year or any monthly combination. I paid for the seasonal subscription, a four month period for winter in MI. Set your low threshold temperature higher if you want to be notified sooner that the temperature is decreasing. It cost $.25 per real time temperature check, not $2. The device checks temperature every 10 seconds and sends data to their server every hour for use in looking at your history chart later on. The data updates to your mobile/online dashboard every eight hours so you can see that. It definitely will alert you when the power goes out or the temperature or humidity exceeds your set thresholds.

I bought this temperature monitor for my vacation cottage because our internet is spotty, so a wifi version is unreliable. Since we keep our cottage open all winter, it is crucial for us to keep track of the interior temps to make sure that the pipes don’t freeze. This unit is perfect for the job, since it not only runs on cell, but also has a battery backup. Recently, the temperatures in the area dropped to 17 below zero and the power was knocked out. We were able to keep a close eye on the interior temperatures of our house to make sure it never got below freezing. Fortunately the power was restored and the heat came back on, but if it had dropped too low, we would have been able to call a neighbor to get our generator going. So, the Marcell was really helpful.The unit was easy to set up and connected right away. I jus followed the instructions and it was up and running in minutes.The downside of this unit is that the reporting is only given every 6 to 8 hours or so. That means that in the event of an emergency, you might not know there is an issue or be able to see the trends until you trigger temp is hit and you get a text. During the outage, I ended up paying extra money to be able to get realtime data. It would be great if we could get hourly data like some of the competitor products.

Great product. At first I was a bit disturbed that the reporting isn't done in livetime--but in practice it's no big matter at all. If one of the values (temperature, humidity, power status) does go out of your own pre-established range, you get an immediate call or text message informing you of the same. Wonderful and comforting device and system giving me lots of peace of mind. Get it!Update 3/16/2018: I am always a bit suspicious of reviewers who review a purchased product a week after buying it. So let me update my original reivew from about 6 months ago and say: I wouldn't change a word. This is a great product and over this very snowy and very cold winter up here in New York State it has given me enormous peace of mind, day in and day out, living far from my blessed country home in rural New York. Occasionally I get a call from the monitor to tell me that power is out (and it IS!) and then, usually, another call a few minutes later to inform me it has been restored. If power is out for any length of time, I can send someone over who is closer to my home to investigate. If you live in a climate where 'climate' is increasingly becoming an issue--this is a cheap and fantastic method of monitoring a remote location. Again--get it, get it, get it. This is pure genius, so simple in conception and execution. Everybody who has a residence subject to the vagaries of climate deserves this device in their home.
