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.

MySpool Alerts, smart notifications, text message, sms alarm

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.

Device Configuration: 3 steps

MySpool WiFi Setup

MySpool WiFi setup

MySpool device setup Summary

1. Connect your device to WiFi

2. Create account on myspool.com

3. Configure your email and text message on myspool.com

The first step is the most challenging one. It should also be done first so that MySpool servers can identify your device when you login to configure it.

Step 1. Connect your device to WiFi

Open your phone, go to Settings, and choose Wi-Fi. Under the CHOOSE A NETWORK tab you will see available networks. One of them will be the MySpool Device. It will look like SASensor-000000 where "000000" is the unique device ID. In the example it is shown as SASensor-2336877. Click on it.

Once connection is established, which may take a few seconds, it will open a browser window with Alerts WiFi Manager.

Step 1, continued. Configure WiFi

Click Configure WiFI. You will see a list of networks that MySpool device can use.

Select your WiFi router and enter its password. Click Save. Note: SAS network will not be visible on your phone after this step.

You can now use your laptop or smartphone to create an account on myspool.com and specify where you want your emails and text messages sent.

Top reviews from the United States

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2021
Bought two of these to use on the Refrigerator & Freezer outlets due to breakers being tripped on those circuits and leaving the power off undetected. Now that these are installed (super-easy to set up), I get nearly instant notification (by email and text) that the power has gone off on those circuits, allowing me to reset the breaker quickly. PLUS, I also get notification when the power has been restored to those circuits. All of these notifications/alerts can be easily customized and configured in your online account (also very easy to set up).

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).

This is an excellent alert monitoring system. I was looking for such a monitoring system that could text me when my freezer lost electrical power. I am amazed how simple and effective its alert system operates. Now I don’t need to wonder if my basement freezer is still running. I give it two thumbs up! No more OCD behavior for me LoL

Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2024
I bought this monitor to determine the duty cycle of a water pump that is controlled by a pressure switch from the pressure tank it feeds to. That is, instead of using it to know when the power is out, I wanted to know when the pump was ON and OFF, to see how much time in total it was ON during the day.

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.

This is an excellent product. I got this to monitor a garage fridge that has lost power a couple times due to a gfci outlet tripping. While chasing the cause of that I needed something to alert me when that circuit goes down...in other words, when all the outlets in the garage fail. This sends me texts and emails whenever the power fails and also when it reconnects. A bit difficult to set up, but if you follow the instructions carefully, you'll have no trouble.

I received a couple of alerts which were very short and I suspect power glitches were the culprit. It works as advertised. Very simple to install and set up alert account. So far I’m happy with it I’ve had it installed about a month

5.0 out of 5 stars Works as expected

Product arrived along with clear instructions. I would advise you make a note of the device ID, since if it does not automatically register under your account, you need to reset it and go through the process again to attempt manually adding to your account using that device ID.

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.

This is the one to get. It works exactly like described and is easy to set up. Comes with clear English instructions. Even sent a follow up email to let me know they monitor its functional and let you know if it’s not working. WOW!

Within 10 months after receiving, acid leaking from sides of unit. When I popped it open, I found all three Amazon AAA alkaline batteries leaking badly. Terminals corroded. Otherwise unit worked very well.
