Edit: never mind. After 10 or 15 minutes of having the IBS-M2 unplugged I received a notification that it was offline. That’s awesome!

I am playing with my new Pool thermometer (IBS-P02R) with IBS-M2 to get ready for a new hot tub at my cottage that I don’t want to freeze this winter. Where we live there are frequent power outages (short and longer ones) so I am trying to simulate a power outage situation.

When the power is restored and the temperature is below the alarm set point then I will get notifications on my phone, which is perfect. However, is there a way to get a notification when the power goes out since I will lose the connection to the IBS-M2? If not, then I will have to figure out some other way to know about power outages. My power company doesn’t have this ability either. Thanks.
