Be alerted away from home or business MySpool Power Failure Alert is a smart device that sends an alert when power failure is detected. An alert is also sent when power comes back on. That alert is a message either via email or text or both. Power Failure Alert is configured to use your WiFi see Important Note below. The setup takes a few minutes with a smart phone or a laptop. No Hub Required Each Power Failure Alert works independently with your Wi-Fi network. Multiple devices can be placed in different locations throughout your home or business. Your notifications will include your text for each device that you specify in the device configuration. No Fees There are no fees for using MySpool Power Failure Alert for any notifications. To add more telephone numbers without fees see these directions. Flexible design MySpool Power Failure Alert comes with an extra long 6 foot power cord connected to an enclosure with a transmitter. Power Failure Alert will ignore short duration power fluctuations of less than 2 seconds so that no unnecessary notifications are sent. Note that since no device is permitted to send more than 1 alert per minute your POWER ON notification may be delayed by up to 1 minute if power comes back on immediately. Each device requires 3 AAA batteries included. The batteries should last 5 years or more assuming average power outages and fluctuations. Important Note: one requirement for the Power Failure Alert deployment is that a WiFi network is available when A/C power outlet being monitored loses power. A good example is a UPS backed WiFi router which Power Failure Alert uses to access MySpool cloud servers.
