Power Outage Alarm

What is Power Outage Alarm?

Power Outage Alarm is a simple to use Android app that detects loss of power (power cuts). Once power loss is detected, the app can send an SMS notification* via the mobile phone network to a designated phone number and/or sound an audible alert to make you aware of the power failure.

Regardless of the reasons for your power cut, any failure of your mains electricity supply can be a nuisance. For some, though, a power blackout can be more than just an inconvenience. If you have important equipment that needs to be kept running and you need to know if there's a power failure even when you're not there then Power Outage Alarm is the app for you.

Typical uses include:

• waking you in the event of a power cut;
• fridge monitoring & freezer monitoring;
• fish tank monitoring & aquarium monitoring;
• generator monitoring;
• sump pump monitoring;
• computer equipment monitoring;
• heating system monitoring;
• chemical storage monitoring;
• and many other applications.

Power Outage Alarm should be installed on an Android device capable of sending SMS text messages and be left connected to a charger for the duration of monitoring the power. For this reason it is anticipated that most users will use an old or cheap Android phone dedicated to running Power Outage Alarm.

Power Outage Alarm is easy to setup and use. Simply download the app, enter a phone number and a notification message, plug the phone into the power source you want to monitor, hit the Start button and you’re done. You can also set an audible alarm to sound when your power goes out to alert you or wake you up when you're on site.

Power Outage Alarm comes in two versions - Pro & Free. Both versions are only available from the Google Play store:
