Essential Info

Protect and monitor your vacation home, cabin or cottage — even when you can't be there! Doing so is now easy and convenient with the new Sensaphone Cottage Sitter, a totally new remote residence monitoring system that can help you detect problems before they turn into disasters.

Like the classic Sensaphone this new system will call you by dialing up to four phone numbers when its sensors detect abnormal conditions (i.e. temperature dips or spikes, leaking water, intrusions, etc.). But the Cottage Sitter takes remote monitoring one giant leap forward with the added ability to control the thermostat by phone. Now you can set the temperature hours before you arrive, ensuring that the house is comfortable and cozy from the moment you walk in the door. The Sensaphone Cottage Sitter requires 6 "D" cell batteries, which are not included.

  • AC Power Adaptor
  • More Info


    It Contacts You If Something Goes Wrong
    With a built-in temperature sensor, microphone and an AC power failure sensor, this system has the ability to call four phone numbers and report the conditions with voice-synthesized English if temperatures go above or below certain levels, if a smoke alarm or security system siren goes off, or if there's a power failure (if the system is backed up with a battery). You can also call your vacation home at any time to obtain a status report, or to listen in to on-site sounds, for total peace of mind.

    The system can also be expanded with up to three additional status sensors to detect other conditions of your choice, so long as the sensors use normally-open or normally-closed contacts. These can include:
    • Water Sensors (to see if there's flooding in the basement)
    • Wind Sensors (to get an idea of what the surfing conditions are at the beach house)
    • Rain Sensors (in case you want to postpone the trip until a dryer weekend)
    • Freeze Sensors (in case you want an idea of what the snow conditions are like for your snowboarding trip)
    • Temperature Sensor Just like the one built into the Sensaphone® so you can monitor additional temperature-sensitive areas of the property
    Remote Thermostat Control
    The Sensaphone Cottage Sitter remote thermostat feature even lets you control the thermostat with a phone call, which is great for getting the vacation home to your preferred temperature hours before you arrive. And if you forget to turn the thermostat down before you leave, you can easily do it from any phone, wherever you are. The Sensaphone Cottage Sitter works with most standard thermostats or set-back thermostats. Thermostats are sold separately. The relay outputs are controlled by a low-voltage relay that can handle 30V AC/DC up to 2Amps (max).

    Built-In Features
  • 4 user-selectable inputs, temperature or dry-contact
  • Microphone monitors high sound alarms and enables remote listen-in
  • AC power failure sensing with variable recognition time
  • Battery condition monitor (uses 6 "D" cells)
  • ClockAdvanced Capabilities
  • User Programmable: alarm recognition time, call delay, inter-call delay, message repetitions
  • Temperature sensing in Fahrenheit (-20°F to 150°F), or Celsius (-29°C to 65°C)
  • Individual temperature input calibration
  • Non-volatile memory for all programmed parameters
  • The relay outputs are controlled by a low-voltage relay that can handle 30V AC/DC upto 2Amps (max).

    Versatile Dial-Out Capabilities

    SCHIELE -- sherrill, NY   2/15/2004
    I connected and programed the sensaphone today and am very pleased with its capabilities. S. A. B.
    CHARLES -- fraser, MI   8/19/2003
    We live in the Metro-Detroit area that was blacked out recently. We bought our cottage sitter with the thought it would call our home and notify us of problems that arise while we are not there. It also has the capability call in and listen to all the preprogramed functions from home. Among temperature and other various settings is a setting that tells us if the AC power is on. With one call we knew the cottage was not effected by the blackout. We packed-up and went to our cottage with all the comforts of home during the great black-out of 2003. The cottage sitter paid for itself within the first month of owning it. Your innovative items really can save the day in a pinch. Chuck B.
    DOUG -- victor, ID   12/8/2006
    We use this product a lot as we live and service a lot of second home in our area. We have been very satified with the user friendliness, and ease of installation. Use of this product is usually an easy sell.

    This unit has worked well, once I got it programmed and understood it. I tested it with several phone numbers and alert conditions. Have not had a "real" alert yet and don't want one, but time will tell.

    For a very complex item, the instruction manual was clear and the setup very easy to follow. I also spoke to customer service before ordering the item and the rep that I spoke with was knowledgeable and helpful and directed me to the correct product.
