Power Failure Alarm, Power Failure Detector, with Email, Text Message, and Audio Alerts(2nd Generation)

Product description

This smart device diligently monitors your GFCI or outlet for power failures around the clock. Powered by a USB charger and equipped with an internal backup battery, it ensures continuous operation and sends out alerts via Wi-Fi the moment a power interruption is detected, keeping you connected and aware, anytime, anywhere.
When the device is connected to a power source, it operates via the included USB charger, indicated by the illumination of a green LED light.
In the event of a power outage, the device will automatically switch to its internal battery, which is signified by the green LED turning off. Simultaneously, you will receive an immediate power-off alert.
The built-in 85db buzzer is enabled by default. In the event of a power failure, the buzzer will sound for 30 seconds, or until you press the easily-identifiable black switch to mute it. For added convenience, you have the option to disable the buzzer via the device settings, if you prefer a quieter environment.
The alert/notification will be sent to you via Email/Text message timely, when:
Device startup
Power failure
Power back on
Low internal backup battery
WiFi connection lost over 24h
Setting changed(via email only)
Very easy and straight forward to set up the device
Connect the USB charger to the outlet to activate the green LED. Press the white switch to power up the device, and you will notice the red LED begin to flash. Quickly press the black switch within 5 seconds to initiate setup mode.
When the red LED ceases flashing and remains lit, the device is now functioning as a temporary Wi-Fi hotspot for setup purposes. Use your smartphone, tablet, or computer to connect to this Wi-Fi network.
Launch a web browser on your device, enter the provided setup webpage address, and complete the single setup form. Once you click "Save and Restart," a confirmation email will be sent to you. The device will now continuously monitor your power status 24/7.
Some other notes before your purchase:
Wi-Fi and Internet Service Required: This device is designed to quickly alert you in the event of a power failure, provided that the Wi-Fi connection and internet service continue for a few seconds post-power loss. It will attempt to send power failure alerts at pre-set intervals multiple times. However, to preserve the internal battery, it will not do so indefinitely. In the event of a whole house power outage where Wi-Fi is lost simultaneously, the device may not be able to send an alert. To ensure you still receive these important alerts, we suggest the use of a Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for your Wi-Fi router. A UPS will maintain power to your router and keep your internet connection live for a period, allowing the device to communicate the power failure alert to you.
Alert via Text Message without Subscription: Users can register two mobile phones to receive instant alerts via text messages. We cover the cost of each text message sent to the cell carriers, ensuring reliable and swift delivery. Included with each device are 300 free text messages, typically enough to last over 5 years for most users. These can be renewed upon request at no additional cost after the 5-year period. And users will get reminder when the text message quota drops down to 20. Currently, we support phone numbers from the US and Canada only.
Unlimited Free Email Notifications: Alert/notification via email is unlimited and free permanently.
'Device Offline' Alert for Connection Loss: The "device offline" alert notifies you when the device loses its connection with our cloud server. This alert is typically triggered by a loss of WiFi connection or an internet service outage. Please note that the "device offline" alert is not generated in real-time, unlike the "power off" (power failure) alert.
We Hear You - Addressing Your Concerns:
"Useless - Power went out over night. No audible alarm was made, no txt message, no email": After investigating the issue, we found that the backup battery of the device had been at 0% before the power outage occurred. Our system had sent a 0% battery report to the user, but unfortunately, the battery was not replaced in time. As a result, when the power outage occurred, the device shut down due to the depleted battery. This explains why no audible alarm, text message, or email notification was generated. As designed, when the battery level drops from a higher level to 20%, a "low battery" alert is sent to prompt timely replacement.
"Not reliable, randomly decide if to report or skip": The customer reported that our device takes more than 10 seconds to detect a power outage and that alerts are not being sent consistently. This is not typical behavior and does not align with the device’s design. Normally, the power outage should be detected within 3 seconds, with alerts sent immediately. Based on the description, it seems likely that a different power adapter is being used instead of the one provided with the device. We've encountered similar situations where users' third-party adapters contain capacitors that retain power for several seconds, causing delayed detection or failure to detect.
"Never worked at all": Unfortunately, we didn't have the opportunity to assist this user directly and ascertain the precise cause of their issue. However, many users report that setting up the device is straightforward when the user manual is followed closely. From our comprehensive customer support experience, we’ve identified two common obstacles to Wi-Fi connectivity: inputting incorrect Wi-Fi credentials and trying to connect to a 5GHz network. Our device exclusively supports 2.4GHz networks. Modern routers typically accommodate both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies, so ensuring your router has 2.4GHz enabled can typically resolve connectivity problems.
"No App!": Considering these sophisticated features, we've determined that a dedicated mobile app is unnecessary. Mobile apps can drain both the battery and the memory resources on your smartphone. Instead, we've established a comprehensive alert system that keeps you promptly and efficiently informed of essential notifications, negating the need for extra software on your phone. This approach keeps our technology simple, direct, and user-friendly. We understand this design choice might not meet every user's expectations, which is why we're here to listen and help.
"Every time form comes up, need to fill entire thing out again": This is not typical behavior. Device settings are saved locally and are retained even after restarts. Once the settings are configured, they should not need to be re-entered unless changes are made. We earnestly encourage users experiencing any issues to let us know. We are always happy to help troubleshoot or answer any questions you may have.
