I'm looking for a good wireless blue tooth thermometer to monitor the interior of the motorhome for our dog while we're out during the day.
It's always bothered me that an ac would shut down or the motorhome would lose power for whatever reason and we'd lose our dog.
Any suggestions for a wireless blue tooth thermometer for an i-phone?
We typically are only away from the MH a few hours to hit the beach or have lunch or dinner.
Thanks

Bluetooth range is only about 30’. You will need a cellular thermometer to connect to your phone via a special app unless you have wifi in your RV. You have to subscribe to their service. They are available but I have no experience with them.

Give this a look. Worked well monitoring the temps in our 3-season room while we were snowbirding.
Temp Stick
But leaving your pet alone is a roll of the dice. Temps in the RV can climb rapidly in the event of a power failure.
Good travels.

You do not want Blue Tooth. as it is very short range. perhaps 200 feet give or take
you want Wi-Fi and a "house" router so that you can leave the RV connected to the internet and monitor using the internet from miles away.
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

after a semi "nicked" it. Still have the radios

Have you thought about an auto start kit for your gen set? In the absence of power your genset can start itself and can be set at a temperature trigger and in turn the AC will re-start powered from the Gen.
There are several kits available.
Here's the Onan one.

Im not at all tech savvy, Could I use my wifes cell phone as a hotspot and monitor the thermometer from my phone?

Well, Thank you all for the suggestions and clarifications on what I actually need.
I just ordered the Waggle lite thermometer on Amazon Prime.
Paid $129.99 and its scheduled to arrive tomorrow.
I'll check back after our trip next week with how well it worked.
Thanks again.
