Online alarm clock for 1:42 am
Before handing the Otago greenhouse check to the next person, set the alarm for 01:42 and leave a clear note about which houses or gauges need attention. That gives them a definite starting point rather than a vague request to look outside sometime before dawn. If conditions are changing quickly, 02:00 can serve as the next sensible check-in after they report what they found.
A late-night handover can fail quietly if the alarm sound has been routed to headphones that nobody is wearing. Check the audio destination and play a brief test, then set a volume that the person taking over will actually hear. This browser alarm must remain open on an awake phone or computer; if either condition changes, it will stay silent and the greenhouses may not be inspected before the morning frost.
Because 01:42 falls deep in the night, keep the alert close to the person responsible instead of making the whole house hear it. Place the phone on a firm surface beside them, use vibration alongside a moderate tone, and shut nearby doors if sound carries through the hallway. Agree in advance who will silence it and leave for the check, so other people are not woken by repeated ringing or a hurried conversation.
