Product Description
Be alerted away from home or business: MySpool Power Failure Alert is a smart device that sends an alert when power failure is detected. An alert is also sent when power comes back on. That alert is a message, either via email or text, or both. Power Failure Alert is configured to use your WiFi (see Important Note below). The setup takes a few minutes with a smart phone or a laptop.
No Hub Required: Each Power Failure Alert works independently with your Wi-Fi network. Multiple devices can be placed in different locations throughout your home or business. Your notifications will include your text for each device that you specify in the device configuration.
No Fees: There are no fees for using MySpool Power Failure Alert for any notifications. Multiple telephone numbers and emails addresses (up to five) can be added for each device free of charge. A complimentary Central Monitoring service is also included free of charge.
Smart design: MySpool Power Failure Alert will ignore short duration power fluctuations of a few seconds so that no unnecessary notifications are sent. Note that since no device is permitted to send more than 1 alert per minute, your POWER ON notification may be delayed by up to 1 minute if power comes back on immediately. Each device requires 3 AAA batteries, included. The batteries should last 5 years or more assuming average power outages and fluctuations.
Important Note: one requirement for the Power Failure Alert deployment is that a WiFi network is available when A/C power outlet being monitored loses power. A good example is a UPS backed WiFi router which Power Failure Alert uses to access MySpool cloud servers.
Currently MySpool products are supported in US and Canada only.
A robust and dependable industrial strength cloud infrastructure is behind every MySpool device. It provides support for both single and multi-device consumer and commercial deployments that can be managed on a secure web site independent of geographical location or a mobile phone. That is what differentiates our industrial-strength services such as device management, monitoring, and notifications.
Setup Instructions for all myspool devices are available online on myspool.com. This is a summary:
- Connect your device to WiFi and trigger an alert: plug it in the A/C outlet being monitored
- Create an account on myspool.com and click on email link to confirm it or login to your existing account if one already exists
- Confirm your email subscription for this device to receive alert notifications
You are done: trigger an alert from your device by unplugging it and receive an email notification!
You can add a phone number and change message and other settings at any time.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
What's really ideal for me is having two of these installed on different circuits. If I only get notification of one being out, I'll know that the breaker was likely tripped and power is not out to the whole house (making troubleshooting a breeze). These units are going to provide me so much peace of mind when going out of town - no more worrying about undetected power outages that might impact the food in the fridge/freezer.
One very important thing you need to know is that these units require constant connection to Wi-Fi in order to notify you of power outages. So, if you don't have your modem and/or router plugged into a battery backup (UPS), these units can't notify you of power failure if power to the entire house goes out. However, you don't need to have a crazy-expensive UPS for your modem and/or router because these detectors need less than a minute of Wi-Fi after the power is out to send the notification. Just get a small $40-50 UPS and then plug ONLY your modem and/or router into this UPS. This will give you 5-10 minutes of internet and Wi-Fi after power failure - plenty of time. If the power is off longer than your UPS unit can supply power to the router and/or modem, it doesn't matter. The detector will automatically reconnect to Wi-Fi after power has been restored and then the detector will notify you the power has been restored.
If you want to know of power failures to ANY circuit in your house, these are a very affordable and reliable option (with NO subscription fees - just one-time purchase cost).

Instructions are simple and straightforward, but the implementation of the configuration screen is rather poor. I tried to set it up from my phone, but the wifi connection continually droped. I then tried from my laptop and finally could access the configuration screen, but it was really bad and not responding properly. I had to use the "No Scan" option to configure the wifi. There was no feedback from this step, but when I created my online account at myspool dot com, my device appeared there, so all was good.
In order to get email notifications, you need to authorize a request you receive from AWS Notifications or something like that, or else, you will NOT get any email notification on Power ON and OFF.
After all this was set and done, my device has been working with no problems, and now I have some nice charts in Excel that show the duty cycle of the pump.
Top reviews from other countries
The initial setup was straight forward and easy. It connected to my wifi and I could see it on my network.
But as I mentioned, the device would not register under my account at MySpool. I tried the manual registration and it did not work either. But an email to the support group did the trick and they added it to my account.
Since then it has worked great and I get almost instantaneous notification upon power loss to the device. Worth it for the peace of mind knowing the fridge is monitored.
