## Overview

The MySpool Power Failure Detector is a WiFi-enabled smart device that instantly notifies you via text and email when power outages or restorations occur.

With a 7+ year battery life on 3 included AAA alkaline batteries and no subscription fees, it ensures reliable, real-time monitoring for homes and businesses alike.

## Description

Be alerted away from home or business MySpool Power Failure Detector 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 Detector 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 Detector 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 Detector for any notifications. Flexible design MySpool Power Failure Detector comes with an extra long 6 foot power cord connected to an enclosure with a transmitter. Power Failure Detector 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

Review: I tried everything at first and gave up as it would not connect to my wifi even though I followed every step (I'm technically sound). Just before I decided to return, I tried the "Wifi (No Scan)" connection option where you have to manually enter the SSID of your Wifi network. Surprisingly that worked immediately even though the normal method where it scans and detects the Wifi was picking the same connection. Any way, it connected immediately, works amazingly and sends alerts when the device loses AC power or when it turns back on. Beautiful. Now I can monitor my Aquarium when not nearby. SMS does not work for outside of US however email works just fine.
Review: Handy device, lets you know when power is off and when the power is restored by notification to email & text works perfectly & no monitoring fees

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this thing contact internet when power is lost.?**
A: Okay, the answer depends on how and why you are using it. I am using it on a GFCI outlet that waters my hydroponic gardens so that outlet often trips but the rest of the house has power. Great for me but perhaps not for you. If the entire house is without power then you would need to have a UPS unit providing power to your modem and wifi router in order for you to still get the message.

Having said that, this thing is awesome and texts me when the outlet trips and texts me again when the power is reset. All for an amazing price!

**Q: Why not just be a power source for a few hours so WiFi still works and my bearded dragon doesn’t die while I race home?**
A: Why not just be a food processor so my smoothie will be ready when I get home?  This is a $50 alarm.  If you want a backup power supply, get one of those.  They cost hundreds or thousands of dollars.

**Q: If the power continues remain off will it send a message every minute until it comes back on?**
A: It will send a message when the power goes off and then another when the power comes back on.

**Q: I want to use this connected to a Verizon WiFi hotspot on my boat - will it use up my monthly data, or only when it connects to send me an alert?**
A: This device sends a heartbeat once a day to the cloud for the central monitoring service. It will also send one OFF alert when power goes out and one ON alert when it comes back on. Your data allowance will not be used up.

*by J***. on 19 November 2024*

Los aparatos son de buena calidad, sin embargo, en México no funcionan con mensajes de texto. El vendedor no fue honesto, ya que se le devolvieron los tres aparatos solicitados y solo reportó dos en lugar de los tres que se le enviaron en el paquete. Esta situación me parece una estafa por parte del vendedor.
