I use a remote thermometer .....actually I have several. I have them set up in a couple of stalls, the high tunnel, and outside. There is no alarm system. I read them before I go to bed and first thing in the morn. If it is going to be a rough night, I can make a point of getting up. Usually I don't need to. I am a morning person, and my wife is a night person. So our going to bed times and getting up times are staggered
enough that we can get pretty regular readings. We keep a couple of LP
heaters available to give things a
boost if needed.
