WiFi Power Outage Alarm Detector, Power Failure & Restoration Alerts with SMS Text, Email & Audible Alarm

The instructions for connecting this power monitor to my home Wi-Fi were exceptionally clear and easy to follow. I had no problem connecting up the unit. I'm using this to monitor a chest freezer and a refrigerator in my garage that are both on the same GFCI-protected circuit. Unfortunately, those GFCI units trip spontaneously some times (or they trip as a consequence of a brief power outage or surge). If this were to happen when we were out of town, all the food would spoil. Having this monitor on that circuit gives me peace of mind. The outage detector has been running for several months now and although we haven't any power failures yet, I tested it a couple of times by unplugging it from the wall socket, and it quickly sent messages to me. And I've had no false alarms during that time. The unit works well and at a good price -- recommended!

Works just fine and is very easy to set up. It does one thing and it does it very well. Purchased several months ago and has detected several momentary power outages for me so far and lets me know when my generator has kicked in, giving me good peace of mind with no noise or other intrusiveness. (Of course this only works because I have my WiFi router powered from a UPS, so when the power goes out, the RisingLink Link still has something to connect to and send out its messages. This caution is CLEARLY stated in the instruction manual shipped with the product.)

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've been very satisfied with this outage alarm/detector. My location experiences frequent power "bumps" or even outages that last up to a day and this thing has been super helpful in letting me know when I'm away from home. The included instructions were very easy to follow and understand, and the online utility for setup was pretty simple too. Once it was setup, I found a good spot to put it that's near an outlet and out of the way. I haven't had to touch it since and it sends me emails and texts when I lose power, even for just a second. I don't use the audible alarm function and I'm glad that it's optional. I'd definitely recommend this product if you need a simple-to-setup outage alarm.

I live in an area where severe storms and power failures occur fairly often. As a result, I own various alternative power devices to keep essential appliances like a freezer/refrigerator and security systems working. If I am away, it is important that I know not only that a power failure has occurred, but also exactly when (what time) and for how long the power was off. This device works perfectly to provide those details whether I am on the road or just away from my house. The monitor does require a WIFI Internet connection to work. I have my router connected to a power station with a UPS function to power to my router long enough for me to receive failure notifications. I am then able to use information from the device along with the power company’s outage website to keep track of repair progress and make decisions about whether to come home and/or contact a neighbor to plug my appliances in to backup power sources. I have even used it to allow me to report power issues to the electricity provider when I wasn’t home. I have tried other methods to monitor power which tend to fail to restart or notify me in a timely manner upon power restoration. The use of both email and text messages ensures that I am instantly notified of a change in status. Based on various reviews, I anticipated problems setting up the device. However, I found setup to be very easy. You can set up multiple email addresses and text numbers to receive notifications. Excellent product!

I love this product. I have a refrigerator and 2 freezers in my garage for food, and wanted an alarm I could plug into the power outlet that feeds them. This unit was very easy to set up. I had it up and running and tested in about 5 minutes. I like that you can configure both email and text messages. The instructions were clear and easy to read, not translated from Chinese like so many products. We had a few very short power outages since I installed, it, and I got the notifications immediately. Well done!

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.

I bought this to monitor power outages at a second home. The device was easy to set up because the directions are clearly written. I was able to set the options the way I want. It sends notifications to my phone via SMS and to my email so I don't miss any event. It even sends an email notice if device can't reconnect to my home wifi after a power outage event. It will not detect "power blips" because of the very short interruption in power during the blips. But it has successfully detected many outages over the year that I have had it installed. Also, customer service via email is terrific! I sent a question and within 24 hours I received a lengthy, very clear explanation from a friendly representative.

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)

Amazing!! This device sends you a text and email immediately after a power outage occurs. It also sends another text and email once the power has been restored. Note that it only monitors power of a single outlet/circuit. I have it on the same outlet/circuit as my large chest freezer in our detached garage. The second that outlet loses power I receive a notification and can act accordingly. Great for any circuit or remote location such as a cottage, you’ll know if there has been an interruption of power. Important to note that the device must remain connected to the internet in order to send the notification. If the power to you Internet router or hub goes down simultaneously you will not receive the notification. I put my router on a UPS (battery backup) power supply and it ensures the internet stays active long enough to allow the notification to get sent out. I highly recommend this device over other models I researched!
