• a plurality of screws affixing the top plate to the peripheral wall;
• an adhesive being mounted to an exterior surface of the base plate, the adhesive being configured to removably mount the housing to an operating surface, the operating surface being on a car seat;
• a rechargeable battery being mounted to the base plate within the interior space;
• and
• a charging port being positioned in the housing and being exposed within an exterior of the housing, the charging port being electrically coupled with the rechargeable battery, the charging port being configured to receive a USB charging cable.
• a microcontroller being mounted to the base plate within the interior space, the microcontroller being electronically coupled with the rechargeable battery, the microcontroller including:
• a transmitter being in wireless electronic communication with a server, the transmitter having an active transmission state and a resting transmission state, wherein the transmitter draws no power or reduced power from the rechargeable battery when the transmitter is in the resting transmission state;
• the server being in wireless electronic communication with a mobile device of a user, the mobile device having an application being configured to provide a user interface between the mobile device and the transmitter, the server being in wireless electronic communication with an emergency line;
• a temperature sensor being in electronic communication with the transmitter, the temperature sensor having an active state and a resting state, wherein the temperature sensor draws no power or reduced power from the rechargeable battery when the temperature sensor is in the resting state, the temperature sensor periodically alternating to the active state, the temperature sensor being configured to measure an ambient temperature when the temperature sensor is in the active state, the periodic alterations having an interval ranging from 3 minutes to 7 minutes, the temperature sensor being configured to be in the resting state during a sleep time, the sleep time being from 11:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M.;
• the transmitter being configured to enter the active transmission state when the temperature sensor measures an ambient temperature that is less than a minimum temperature or greater than a maximum temperature, the minimum temperature being no greater than 55° F., the maximum temperature being at least greater than 82° F.;
• the transmitter being configured to send a temperature alert to the server when the ambient temperature is less than the minimum temperature or greater than the maximum temperature, the server being configured to relay the temperature alert to the mobile device;
• the transmitter being configured to receive a response from the server, the response originating from the mobile device, the user inputting the response with the user interface;
• the transmitter being configured to send an emergency alert to the emergency line when the response is not received within a threshold time limit, the threshold time limit ranging from 1 minute to 5 minutes after the transmitter sends the temperature alert;
• the emergency alert including information about a location of the microcontroller;
• the transmitter being configured to issue an audible alarm when the server is unresponsive to the temperature alert, the audible alarm ranging from 60 dB to 70 dB.
