Quick Start: Set Up Your PowerNotify

1) Setup

1. Plug the PowerNotify device into a USB power source.
2. Wait up to 1 minute for the device to power on and enter setup mode.
3. Connect to the Wi-Fi network PowerNotify-XXXX (the last four characters are unique to your device).
4. Open a browser on your phone and visit http://192.168.4.1.
5. Click your Wi-Fi SSID, enter your Wi-Fi password, and press Save.

2) Register Your Device

1. You should be redirected to the PowerNotify portal to sign in or create an account. If not, go to portal.powernotify.net/signup.
2. Create an account, or sign in if you already have one.
3. Verify your email address. If you don’t see the email, check your junk folder and mark PowerNotify as a safe sender.
4. In Your Devices, click Claim a device and enter your claim ID (claim ID is on a sticker on the device).
5. Your device will now appear in the portal.

3) Configure Your Device

• Give it a friendly name: e.g., “Home” or “Office Server Room” for easy identification.
• Add email recipients: one or more addresses to receive power-outage alerts.
• Set the “Alert After” time: how long missed heartbeats should persist before an outage is reported (default: 90 seconds). Very short times can cause false positives if Wi-Fi briefly drops.
• Enable SMS/Call (optional): Top up your wallet from the account menu, verify your phone number, then add it to any device to receive SMS or call alerts.

4) How It Works

• The device sends a heartbeat to the cloud about every 15 seconds.
• If heartbeats stop for longer than your configured Alert After time, an alert is sent to your recipients.
• Manage devices and settings anytime from the online portal.
