Using the GFI Notify software and hardware bundle, power outage to any monitored circuit will be detected. Notifications are sent to up to three contacts by email and text within as soon as 6 minutes of the outage. Notifications are also sent when power is restored. GFI circuits are required to be in garages, basements and many other areas of a house. Freezers, refrigerators, sump pumps and heated aquariums can be plugged into those circuits. A GFI is a very sensitive circuit breaker and can trip (lose power) for many reasons, including a close lightning storm. GFI Notify monitors those circuits 24/7/365 for power outages. When you travel or are away from home for any reason, GFI Notify will send crucial notifications within 6 minutes giving you enough time to take remedial action when there is a power outage. GFI Notify can monitor any circuit in your house or business. GFI Notify will also notify you when your entire house loses power. GFI Notify provides assurance especially to RVers when monitoring power in their home and, when they travel, to monitor power in their RV so that pets can be safe should there be a power outage.
