Simple and works like a charm

If you need to be alerted of an outage while sleeping this app works very well.
BKBo. King

Test and worked, needs one tweek

Easy test, plug in, set alarm, unplug, see if alarm goes off. It did. One big suggestion, there is only one alarm sound. I don’t need it to play my music, but not a blaring all alert alarm if possible, some other options would be nice

FAQ

What does the Power Failure & Outage Alarm app do?

This app monitors your device's connection to a power adapter. It alerts you with an alarm when the power is cut and when it is restored. It also logs these events and can optionally turn on your device's torch as an emergency light.

How do I use the app to detect power outages?

Connect your device to a power adapter and arm the alarm within the app. Ensure the app is not terminated from recent apps and avoid resource-intensive applications while armed. The app will then sound an alarm if the power is disconnected.

Can I get alerted when I'm not near my device?

Yes, the app allows you to set up email alerts. This feature enables remote monitoring, so you can be notified of power changes even when you are away from your device, such as at work.

How does the app prevent false alarms from minor power blips?

The app features adjustable minimum outage duration sensitivity. You can set how long a power interruption must last before the alarm is triggered, helping to avoid detecting very brief power blips or micro-cuts.

Is this app free to use?

The application is free to download and use, but it offers in-app purchases. These purchases likely unlock additional features or remove advertisements, providing an enhanced user experience.
