Home monitoring using the internet.

 

Has anyone here had experience using any products from La Crosse Alerts? The research I have done looks promising. I worry about the "home front" while traveling during the winter.

Remember when cars were simple? Carburetors, stuff like that? Now they have more computers than the Apollo moon lander... And are just about as easy to diagnose and repair!

Yea I remember that. Plugs points and condenser twice a year, automatic chokes that would freeze up in cold weather, cold weather starts required you to pump the gas and hope for the best & never go on a trip without a toolbox in the trunk. No thanks I love that I can plug a scanner into the OB2 port on my car and it will tell me everything I need to know in case there is a slim chance of a problem.

Not only that, tires lasted 20K miles and the rocker panels would rust out in 4 years and if you got 75K miles on a car you were doing good. sad

Avoid Lacrosse ! HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT

This product is good in concept, but Lacrosse's execution sucks. The units are very finicky and work when they want to... or not. Their website says support turn-around time is 3-5 days. Well, that's unacceptable if you're remotely monitoring temp and humidity/water. By the time Lacrosse gets back to you, your house is frozen or flooded!! But the worst is that they don't even live up to the 3-5 day standard: there is NO SUPPORT.
(1) Their phone lines are not manned, so the system asks you to leave a message. Messages are not answered; no return calls !!! (2) And don't bother to email them using their online "form submission" page. They do not reply to them either.
(3) They don't have manuals for their products... just a short set-up sheet which is lousy.
