Product Description
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 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 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. Multiple e numbers and s es (up to five) can be added for each device free of charge. A complimentary Central Monitoring service is also included free of charge.
Smart design: MySpool Power Failure Alert will ignore short duration power fluctuations of a few 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 immediay. 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.
Currently MySpool products are supported in US and Canada only.
