Food Safety: Wireless Temperature Monitoring in Commercial Kitchens
Maintain food safety compliance effortlessly with Telemetry2U’s real-time wireless temperature monitoring solution. Ideal for commercial kitchens, restaurants, and food production facilities, our advanced system ensures optimal temperature control for refrigerators, freezers, and cold storage. Receive instant alerts, monitor conditions remotely, and automatically generate compliance reports to streamline operations and protect your products.
Food Storage Temperature Monitoring
In any kitchen environment, maintaining optimal temperatures is essential to prevent stock loss, preserve food quality, protect customer health, and comply with food safety regulations. Equipment failure is a common cause of spoilage, especially in cold storage. Fridges and freezers contain moving parts such as fans and compressors, which wear out over time. Control sensors may be affected by moisture ingress and deliver false readings, while evaporators can ice up and reduce overall performance—issues that often go unnoticed until it’s too late. Even something as simple as a door being left open can quickly become a costly disaster if not detected in time.
Many kitchens still rely on manual temperature checks and paper-based compliance records. This process is not only time-consuming but often ineffective, as issues are typically discovered too late to take corrective action.
These challenges are common across commercial kitchens, supermarkets, bakeries, cafés, food storage facilities, and refrigerated transport—but many of the risks can be significantly reduced with the right monitoring system.
A Comprehensive Solution for Temperature Monitoring
Telemetry2U offers a cost-effective and reliable solution for kitchen temperature monitoring. Our system provides 24/7 protection with real-time alerts and fully automates your reporting requirements.

- Depend on resilient, fail-safe technology. The system continues operating during power or internet outages, and lost data is synced automatically when back online.
Food Safety Temperature Monitoring Made Easy
You don’t need to invest a lot of time or money to begin monitoring your food storage temperatures in real time. Telemetry2U offers flexible solutions that suit a range of budgets. You can choose to source the hardware yourself and follow our step-by-step documentation, or simplify the process with our plug-and-play IoT solution, where we handle setup for you. Below is a breakdown of estimated costs if you prefer the DIY route.
Dragino LPS8v2 LoRaWAN Gateway
Cost: $295 ($375 with 4G)
A LoRaWAN gateway bridges the sensors to the cloud. The Dragino LPS8v2 gateway communicates via long-range RF and connects to the internet via Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or 4G. It's ideal for indoor use and can be backed up with a 5G connection and battery power for near-zero downtime.
Dragino LHT65N Temperature & Humidity Sensor
Cost: $85
The Dragino LHT65N is a battery-powered sensor with over 10 years of battery life. It features internal sensors for fridge/freezer environments and supports optional external sensors with aluminium buffers for increased accuracy. Suitable for magnetic mounting and accurate to within 0.5°C or better when calibrated.
Optional Temperature Buffer
Cost: $30 to $70
Use aluminium temperature buffers to reduce false alerts caused by door openings or defrost cycles. These emulate 30ml of water and improve reading accuracy, with a second well for reference sensors.
Optional Cable Entry Seal
Cost: $20
Seal sensor cables without compromising your fridge or freezer. Our cable entry seals minimise leaks, improve stability, and reduce energy consumption.
Optional Sensor Calibration
Cost: $150–
While the LHT65N offers ±0.5°C accuracy by default, some applications require certified calibration. We offer NATA-accredited calibration and verification services with cloud-accessible documentation.
Sign-Up and Add Your Devices
Cost: $3 to $8 per month
