Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
For what it’s worth, I wish I had this feature on my garage fridge. It’s getting older and sometimes the door just doesn’t close all the way. Because of the way my house is laid out, you can only hear the beep if you’re in the kitchen (and even then it’s not very clear) so it might sit open for hours before being noticed. Granted, this feature is definitely not worth buying a smart fridge and I probably wouldn’t want one in my garage, but I wish I had something to fix that problem.
Clean the mating surfaces, that should help
And if necessary you may need to replace the rubber seal
It's usually a pretty cheap and easy fix
If the other tips don't work you could add an smart powerplug that measure the consumption and then figure out what pattern you have when it is open and then send an email or sth. (I hope such power plugs exist)
That.... That's actually a good point... 🤔
Not really. A motor is a much more complicated device than just a sensor, and it doesn't fix if there's anything blocking the door.
..and the sensor might just be the temperature sensor itself checking if the temperature is too high for too long.
They already have a solution on most modern fridges. My parents fridge dings when it's been open too long.
It would literally be a very easy to install device. My fridge chimes if you leave it open
