PowerLink is a complete remote generator control, monitoring, and protection system. Start your generator from anywhere and let PowerLink handle the rest! Built-in load protection holds power to your connected circuits until your generator has fully warmed up, with customizable thresholds for run time, output voltage, and frequency. Once conditions are met, individual circuits switch on automatically or on your command, giving you precise, intelligent control over how and when generator power is delivered. PowerLink connects you to a community of awareness. Your installation is assigned a geographical zone, and you can subscribe to up to four additional zones to receive real-time event notifications from nearby PowerLink customers, like wildfire alerts that could threaten your property. Use PowerLink to automatically power an irrigation pump the moment a fire is detected in your area, pre-heat or cool your camper or cabin before you arrive at camp, and keep all areas monitored by2 cameras powered through PowerLink's built-in 4G cellular hotspot. Sharing access is easy by granting friends or family limited control so they can start and monitor the generator if you're not available. The app guides you through every step of setup, from claiming your unit to configuring your network, in a straightforward in-app wizard. Secure biometric login (Face ID / Touch ID) keeps your system protected, and fully customizable notification preferences ensure you're alerted to what matters, when it matters.
