Starlink in the Summer, CabinPulse in the Winter
Many seasonal property owners rely on Starlink when they’re actually at their properties — and honestly, it makes sense.
Many seasonal property owners rely on Starlink when they’re actually at their properties — and honestly, it makes sense. Heck, I'm writing this up at my cabin via a Starlink connection!
It’s fast, reliable, and does the job in places that normal internet providers can’t reach. But once winter hits and the cottage sits empty, paying for full-time internet doesn’t really add up.
That’s where CabinPulse comes in. It gives you a way to keep an eye on your property during the off-season — without needing to keep paying for WiFi — and it’s way more affordable than leaving Starlink running all winter.
Starlink When You're There, CabinPulse When You're Not
We’ve noticed a pattern with many of our customers. During the warmer months, they use Starlink while spending time at the cabin.
But once the cold weather rolls in, they’re not visiting as much — so they pause Starlink to save on monthly fees.
The only downside? Once Starlink’s paused, there’s no easy way to monitor what’s happening at the cabin - smart thermostats stop working and there's no way to know when the power goes out or temperatures drop dangerously low.
CabinPulse Fills That Winter Gap
CabinPulse is a compact little device built to work without WiFi. It runs on LTE (with 3G fallback), has a powerful antenna and uses a tiny amount of data (which is all included) — so it can work just fine even with a weak or spotty signal.
It keeps an eye on things like:
- Temperature (so you don’t end up with burst pipes)
- Power outages (know when the power’s gone)
- Humidity and air quality (for smoke, mold risk, etc.)
- Real-time alerts by email or text
Just plug it in — and if the power goes out, it’ll run for up to 3 days on its backup battery.
Why They Work So Well Together
| Starlink | CabinPulse |
|---|---|
| Fast internet when you're at the cabin | Keeps watch when you're away |
| Good for streaming, Zoom calls, cameras, etc. | Sends alerts for temp, smoke, and power issues |
| Costs around $140/mo | Just $14/mo CAD — all-in |
Using Starlink in summer and CabinPulse in winter gives you solid coverage year-round, without paying for stuff you're not using. Plus, you can bring that $14/mo down to $10/mo with a 3-year plan.
