BarnTalk 4+

From a phone call to an App!

We have been growing chickens for 18 years. Farm alarm has woken me several times in the middle of the night with not surly knowing what the problem could be. We have installed Barn talk on our eight house farm. We grow for Perdue. They have approved this style monitoring. It takes some time to get use to changing all the setting and proper monitoring. I wish they would make dry contacts with more than two connections as where you need multiple per house(like 4 option contact). However this has been nice and effective just a little more costly as each dry contact cost $225. They really will not budge on price as I called to see if they offer a discount to buy multiple sensor and the gentleman was actually rude about it. But we will slow add more of the other monitor sensors in time as we can afford. We current have two gateway, 23 dry contacts, 8 moisture sensors and 2 humidity sensors. We want to try out the bin monitor also, but that is to costly. So far we like being able to open an app and see what’s going on. There is still a long way to go with making this more efficient. But as far as we have found, this is as good as it gets for our age farm.

Decent app but I want changes..

It would be nice if I could arrange the different sensor readings in any order I wanted on my app

Great App for Hog Finishers!

Bought the system and works great. I was skeptical to see if I got cellular signal because I have my finishing barns in a dead zone for my phone. I got great reception for my Gateway. Easy installation when you watch the YouTube videos they provide. I can see temperature and water usage at all times. Expensive products but you pay for what you get. I can now sleep better knowing what’s happening in my barns. Wish though I could move the tiles to be more organized.
