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

A very inexpnesive and reliable method to monitor for power on any circuit. For me, it is to tell me if I have lost power on a freezer, protecting the thousands of dollars of food stored in there. I have experienced where a loss of a circuit breaker in the past caused a full loss of all items within. This item has done exactly what I needed: Monitor and alert when power is lost. If I lose power, I get an audible tone in the garage indicating the loss, but far more importantly, I get a text message and email that says "Power lost to <freezer> at XX:XX am/pm". I can take immediate action to ensure I have alternate power or provide a way to move the freezer items to avoid spoil. What more can you want. Has saved me once already. I may get for one other circuit as well as I trust this to work. It is simple, small, and seems to have good battery life. It does not say in description what it says in the packaging in which you get 300 text messages before you run out. That may be a concern for some, but I do not plan on losing power that often. It does not affect email service, thought. Well worth it. Do understand that if you lose power to entire house, it may not get message sent before your internet router loses power, so understand that limitation. For me, I have the router on a battery backup so it will send the signal regardless. Highly recommended.

I purchased this unit a couple of months age to monitor power on my freezer. This product is great and works well. The only downfall that I can see is the fact that it will only send a total of 300 text messages in its lifetime. It will however send unlimited emails to up to two people. My power has went off a couple of times and it notified me each time (when it goes off and again when it comes back on.

I purchased my risinglink about 3 years ago and had 100% success. No problem and easy to set up. However, I did change my internet service from Verizon to T-mobile and had a little difficulty understanding how to set my T-mobile to a different frequency to match my risinlink. I reached out to customer support and within a day I had my answers and now up and working. Good product. Makes it nice when out of town, you know exactly when power is off or on.

Very Happy with my Risinglink Power Failure Alarm. I'm a tech head so it was pretty easy for me to setup; although I did see some reviews of people stating they thought it was a little difficult , if you follow the directions as stated you should not have any problems. It works great and alerts me immediately via email and text if I loose power to my house and also another email and text when the poser comes back on (your router/wifi I think needs to be on a battery backup since it uses that to route the message). I am super happy with the unit.

I initially had an issue getting my Risinglink to connect to my internet even after splitting my 5g from my 2.4g which is the one needed for Risinglink. I contacted customer support who got back to me within 10 minutes. They were very helpful and asked me to double check my password and reminded me it is case sensitive. Sure enough, I had a capitol letter on the form I filled out for Risinglink that was not capitalized on my password. Once that was resolved, it works great. I only gave 4 out of 5 stars because I want to see if it continues to work over an extended period of of time.

Product is perfect. Rarely can I ever say that on here. I had a problem with my boat trickle charger. Rain kept tripping the GFI; and then I had a dead boat. Twice, in the first week, the Risinglink prevented disaster. It sent a text and an email, the power was out! Flawless. Beautiful boat ride was not missed.. Easy set up. Green light tells u you power is on. Gizmo tells you when it goes out and when it comes back on. And the form factor is small enough to fit inside the covered small outlet box. Rarely does a product do exactly what its supposed to do. The thing simply works!

Just exactly what I was looking for, at a fair price. Setup was a breeze and worked perfectly. We have frequent power outages and I need to know whenever it happens in order to keep our servers up and running. Cheap insurance. Nicely done!

This unit works great. I bought this monitor since our power is lost anytime you sneeze outside. I bought a different model before this one, and returned it as soon as I found out you needed to subscribe to a service. This one is easy to set up. Plug it in, find the SSID in the WiFi list, connect and enter an e-mail address and/or text number. Now the power company can't deny power failures - I have an e-mail record of each failure to the second. Two suggestions. One, the alarm is VERY loud. You will know when the power goes out. I would not recommend plugging this into a bedroom, find a utility room or something. Second, it will need a WiFi connection to report. My WiFi cable modem is plugged into a UPS system, so it stays alive during a power failure. If you do not have a UPS, there are cable companies that provide WiFi modems that have their own battery backup built-in. Talk with your provider on how to keep the WiFi connection alive during a power failure.

Great product! Power has gone out a few times and the audible alarm and text/emails worked great. I would suggest having a battery backup on your modem so you have internet access to receive your alerts. Great piece of mind!

Excelente producto y a muy buen precio. Vale la pena tenerlo pues te puedes ahorrar mucho, protegiendo tus bienes o mercancía sabiendo al instante que tuviste una falla de energía. El servicio del Risinglink Support Team muy rápido y muy profesional cuando solicité su ayuda. El Risinglink me manda un correo y mas importante un mensaje de texto a mi celular en el instante que ocurre una falla de energía. No dudes en adquirirlo. IMPORTANTE: Para los celulares de México te recomiendo enviar un correo electrónico al Risinglink Support Team pues ellos te ayudan con la marcación al celular. Anexo fotos de los mensajes en mi celular.

This connects to your wifi, if the power goes down it sends you an email. It works because my wifi is on an uninterruptible power supply so my wifi stays alive if the power goes off.

Bene perchè segnala le interruzioni di corrente in modo ottimale e preciso. Non benissimo perchè: Costa troppo Non manda sms al di fuori degli USA (quindi solo email) Non si puo programmare quindi ha un fuso orario sballato. Serve internet altrimenti non funziona (ma questo è dichiarato dal costruttore)
