Power Outage Alert for Business
Protect revenue, stock, and operations. PowerNotify is a compact USB device that sends instant email, SMS, or phone call notifications when mains power or internet fails at your premises.

- Cloud portal — manage devices, recipients, and alert windows centrally
Use Cases
- Retail POS, card machines, tills
- Refrigeration: display fridges, walk-ins, freezers

- Clinics and labs (incubators, fridges)

What a Power Cut Costs a Business
Unplanned downtime doesn’t just mean the lights go out. You may lose card payments, online orders, CCTV coverage, or temperature-controlled stock. If a cut happens overnight or at the weekend, the first sign may be a failed system or spoiled stock — long after the problem started.
By receiving alerts in real time, your on-call staff can respond sooner: start generators, move stock, restart critical systems or attend site before customers are affected.
How It Works
- Install in minutes: power via USB, join your Wi-Fi, claim in the cloud.
- Set your alert window: choose how long without heartbeat before alerting.
- Add recipients: email, SMS, or voice call — as many as you need.
- Act fast: if power or internet fails, your on-call team is notified instantly.
Without vs With PowerNotify
| Scenario | Without PowerNotify | With PowerNotify |
|---|---|---|
| Overnight outage in a shop | You arrive to dead fridges, offline tills and possible stock loss. | Your on-call staff are alerted overnight and can attend or move stock. |
| Internet failure at a card-only business | You discover card payments are down when customers are already queuing. | You’re warned early and can switch to backup connectivity or warn staff. |
| Remote site or kiosk | Issues go unnoticed until someone visits, possibly days later. | You receive alerts when power or internet fails and can dispatch an engineer. |
FAQ
Will it alert if only the internet is down?
Yes. Power or internet loss both stop the device heartbeat. If the cloud doesn’t hear from the device within your alert window, we notify your chosen contacts.
Can we have different recipients for different sites?
Yes — you can manage multiple devices in the portal with separate recipients and alert windows per device, ideal for multi-site businesses or franchises.
Do we need an electrician to install it?
No. PowerNotify is powered from a standard USB outlet or adapter. Most businesses simply plug it in near the equipment they care about, connect it to Wi-Fi, and claim it in the portal.
