The fire thatstarts itself.
Stored hay can heat from the inside and combust on its own — slowly, silently, over days. MySentinel Haywatch reads the early signs and rings your phone hours to days before there's a flame. Sleep well through baling season.
Three layers. One device.
Most hay monitors watch temperature alone — and temperature alone can't tell a sun-warmed outer bale from a fermenting inner one. Haywatch watches the whole shed.
Predictive
Multi-sensor probes in the stack read temperature, humidity and VOC off-gassing every 60 seconds — catching combustion building hours to days before ignition.
Reactive
A smoke and heat detector catches electrical, arson and lightning fires the instant they start — the fast fires the probes can't predict.
Secure
A motion sensor flags after-hours activity — theft, trespass, vandalism — before anything goes wrong in the shed at all.

Every reading on your dashboard, updating through power cuts and connectivity drops.
Alert
A trend turns dangerous — we call you, then the next person, until someone presses 1.
Resolve
Full history in the dashboard. Inspect the stack, clear the alarm, go back to sleep.
The 7am all-clear.
The alarm is the insurance. The thing you actually live with is the quiet confirmation, every morning, that everything's fine — and a phone that only ever rings when it truly matters.
And when it does ring, it doesn't stop at one missed call. The waterfall works down your contact list until a real person acknowledges — the same welfare-grade alarm that's woken poultry farmers at 2am for six years.
Who it's for.
Contractors
Large producers and balers with serious stock and serious exposure under one roof.
Farms
Dairy and beef operations storing the winter feed they can't afford to lose.
Lifestyle
Smaller blocks that want the barn watched without thinking about it.
Equine
Studs, stables and pony clubs — where horses need hay year-round and there's no substitute.
