As a preface, my sister sent me this news: Authorities Release 911 Call of Bode Millers Daughter Drowning | PEOPLE.com this morning which I mentioned to a friend who lives in the Southwest and she told me that she knows two people who lost children last year in pools. I have three children under the age of six including a 23-month old who looooooooooves the water ("Poo-oh!" "Wah-oh!!") and we bought a house last year with a privacy fence but no pool fence.
So I paid a company in April $10,000 to install a permanent "wrought iron" (aka black aluminum) 60" tall fence around the pool deck but they have not yet done it SO I AM REALLY IN FREAK OUT MODE NOW.
Despite the resistance of every single person on the face of the earth (except for those on this forum, thank you TFP), our permanent pool fence is, I am promised, going to be installed in the next week. It does *not* appear that the fence company ordered the latches that I wanted which are the Magna-latches with Alarms and so I may have a brief window of time to re-think that decision. It occurs to me that the alarm is not a lot of help since the gates are self-close, right? So it chirps for a second while my child crawls through, closes behind him and never makes another peep? Ummmmm.
Yeah. So I've Googled and don't see anything but I figure it's worth checking here-- anyone know of a latch device that has wifi? Everything has wifi and an app. How could there not be a latch with wifi and an app...?
Thanks in advance. I am really really really freaking out right now.
