How Much Can You Save with CabinPulse? Starlink with WiFi Smart Home Devices vs CabinPulse
Starlink has undeniably changed access to rural internet. For many cabin owners across Canada, it's opened up the door to fast internet when you need it. It even makes working from or living at the lake full-time a possibility.
But it's expensive. Really expensive. As of today, it's $140/mo in Canada for standard residential service. To make matters worse, most cabin owners only go to their cabins a handful of times in the winter which makes the economics of year-round Starlink... difficult.
Still, year-round WiFi means you can use smart home WiFi devices to keep an eye on your cabin - which is a compelling proposition, especially when Canadian winters mean a furnace failure can be catastrophic. Many cabin owners pay the $140/mo year-round for that peace of mind.
There's a better - Canadian - way.
Fortunately, there's a solution that can save you hundreds of dollars a year, provides better monitoring and doesn't rely on a power-outage-vulnerable WiFi router. Plus, it's made in Saskatchewan!
CabinPulse is a small device that plugs into any outlet and monitors temperature, humidity, power outages, air quality, smoke alarms and more. It uses its own dedicated cellular connection and has a 3-day backup battery - meaning it'll keep you informed through even the harshest winter storms.
It has a robust alerts system, and can send you alerts if anything goes outside your pre-set thresholds - if the temperature drops, power goes out, smoke alarm goes off, you name it.
Instead of $140/mo, CabinPulse starts at just $10/mo! Fortunately Starlink allows you to easily cancel and restart your plan at any time, so you can still enjoy fast internet in the summer - and take advantage of robust, low cost monitoring when you're away in the winter.
