Helpful tool for RV
We have returned to an RV site for the thrift time, always getting the same spot. This third time, the pedestal has a short in the 50amp plug and breaker. The watchdog helped me identify the problem and we were able to notify the owners for repair. I love the WiFi connection although I didn’t expect yo ever use it.

NEED HISTORY DATA
Just like everyone else… would really love a history log with timestamps for usage, error codes, outages etc.
Great for real time, but we really want history of power data and errors!

App needs updating
As many have already stated, the app is very outdated and needs to be updated!
Device works as stated, reduces initial power draw, but it would be beneficial to have a graphic history and a note area to record power draw from different devices. We all have those pieces of paper with the amperage of all our different devices!!! Especially when on 30 amp!

Lacks Historical Time-series
PowerDog hardware is wonderful & works as expected, protects RV & everything plugged inside from external power chaos - which is great.
the app shows you real-time usage & detailed error reports when something happens. it is however missing one major, and IMO obvious feature - a timeseries graph showing a data log of kwH. I want to be able to see how the demand goes up and down - not in realtime & take notes inbtw turning components on/off - i wanna be able do log & graph historical power draw.
make it happen please!

No history??
Mine dropped out for a couple of minutes. Opened app after power came on but app shows no history, no reason for dropping power…..
Awesome device, but app needs updating.
New icon is silly. BLUETOOTH!
Really glad we upgraded to a PWD, but can we please get error logging in the app? I love that my watch will give me updates when there’s an issue, but why can’t we have the issues logged? Logging would make this pretty much perfect.

App is useless
The app is useless. Watchdog itself is great- had an E3 power loss- would assume the app would indicate I had lost power & have alert code definitions- but no. No history, no codes, nothing. Why have an app that does nothing?
Can read QR code
Open the app try to read the QR code on the unit. Error that it can’t read the code. No help available to figure out what’s wrong.
Peace of mind
I have my 30 AMP unit for seven months now and gave take it from NJ to Florida twice and Florida to California and am in Tennessee on my way back to NJ now. That’s a lot of miles and numerous campgrounds.
It gives me comfort knowing that I won’t fry the electronics in my camper. The cost of the unit is less than the deductible and don’t lose the camper for an undetermined amount of time.

Alerts when 999kwh used
I have written to the company about this problem and they haven’t fixed it yet. This unit keeps track of energy usage. I use this for understanding how much my RV uses monthly. The device alarms through the app when you have reached 999kwh. I want to remove this. I check the app end of each month for my usage, but on particularly hot months, the rv uses closer to 1200-1300kwh causing an alarm in the app. Sometimes this happens in the middle of the night. Other than that, I love the surge protector.

PWD50EPO
My device quit working, company replaced it with a new unit, under warranty after 5 years of use.
Poorly designed app
This is probably one of the worst apps I’ve used in an iPhone. It’s very limited and has a complicated UI. It looks nothing like an iPhone app. Mind you, I’m giving a rating specifically for this app, not the hardware.
Why WATCH DOG?
I’ve been RV ing for over 30 years. When a spike costs thousands to Repair and you can’t operate the trailer to pull the slides in or out . You start to scratch your head and wonder how much money is this going to cost? It’s nice to look at your phone and see what’s going on. Watch Dog gives you peace of mind with all the protection you need. I Highly recommend this one.

Basic
Doesn’t notify losses, doesn’t log unacceptable conditions, just very basic
My non EPO watchdog works with this app and not the regular app
As stated in the title. My PWD30 surge protector doesn’t work with the Regular Power Watchdog app. It works with the EPO app. I’m not sure why but for those having trouble “finding device” give the EPO app a try. 4 stars for the inaccurate description.
Great Power Protection
It would be even better if the app had a log file that would tell me when there was a significant power event, like when requiring the Dog to cut off the power for an under voltage or a surge.
Works Great
We have had ours for four years and love it, it helps us to know how much electricity we have used and any problems!
appreciate app, but lacks core features
really wish it would log & chart power metrics over time - at least starting from last on time. wild jt doesnt do that.
cannot access or modify or configure unit via app at all.
really just a display head unit

Good protection for your rig
Just pulled in to a spot and plugged the unit in and couldn’t get all green. The camp host switched out the breaker and now all green. Well worth the extra step to save your rig.
