Anyone have any recommendations on freezer alarms for chest freezers?

Ooh, I too want to know!
Two cheap ones.
that isn't helpful lol
It is. I wouldn't trust one cheap one, but two should do the job.
I use the Yolink LoRa system with a temperature sensor and speaker hub. It gives an audible alert and sends out email and SMS if the temperature gets above my setpoint, assuming internet is working. Sensor batteries last about 5 months. It's not the ideal solution because you're relying on 3rd party services, but it has worked reliability for me for the past year. Also, once you have the speaker hub, you can add additional functions. I use it for a driveway alarm, gunsafe door monitor, greenhouse temperature monitoring and to remotely control my truck's block heater.
I'll look into it thank you
I was looking at a company called SensorPush. They are a little pricy but most of the hardware and software is made in the US and it seems very flexible on multiple configurations (I think it’s intended for industrial applications)
HT.w Wireless Digital Thermometer runs about $70/ea and requires a base station. It doesn’t have a local alarm or external screen though which I don’t like as it therefore seems to require the phone to be useful. I’d run it on a separate WiFi network to be safe
