One Gateway can cover up to two barns or poultry houses. The Gateway should be centrally located on your site.

Absolutely not! BarnTalk works straight out of the box. NO landline, WiFi, or cell phone plan is needed.

BarnTalk works even in places where your phone can’t make a call by only sending small data packets from your building to the cloud.

The subscription covers BarnTalk’s built-in, plug-and-play connectivity. It’s more reliable and cost effective vs. obsolete landlines, or spotty internet and cell phone plans. View Subscription Pricing.

For just $15/month, BarnTalk TotalCare provides complete coverage for any and all damage to your Gateway and any sensors connected to it. Lightning, water, fire, and physical damage—no questions asked. Click here to learn more.

You can connect up to:

• 24 temperature sensors, humidity sensors, wireless dry contact sensors, and water meters per Gateway.
• 1 outdoor temperature sensor per Gateway.
• 8 BinTalk feed bin sensors per Gateway.

Yes. BarnTalk completes a self-test every two minutes to confirm that the Gateway is still online. If no response is received, an alarm is triggered. We refer to this as the BarnTalk HeartBeat.

We recommend having 1 sensor per room or every 100 feet in your barns or poultry houses. Sensors should be placed within 700 ft. of the Gateway for best connection.

The sensors all have lithium-ion batteries inside of them with a 2-3 year battery life. The water meter has an 8+ year battery life. Replacement batteries for the sensors can be easily found at online retailers like Amazon for around $5.

Yes. BarnTalk’s 24+ hour backup battery ensures you can receive alarms and view conditions even when you’ve lost power.

Receive alarms via text message, phone call, or push notification from the app. All alarms can be acknowledged in the BarnTalk app by touching the “Attend to Alarm” button. You can also resolve alarms via the keypad on your phone.

Yes. If you don’t want to be alerted — including when you're washing out barns or moving out animals, you can toggle off your threshold settings or silence your Gateway's alarms altogether.

There is no limit to how many people you add to your CallTree. They just need to be a contact in your phone to add them in. The contacts you add will be notified in the order of the CallTree when barn conditions fall outside of the norm.
