Ratings and reviews

Does exactly what it says. It's simple and it works. Great use for an old perfectly working phone to monitor power to my fish aquarium like another user did. I'm hopeful that you can add SMS or email alert because the remote notification can make it even more useful, especially when I'm traveling. Very nice work and thank you for the app. I looked for the SMS version on Amazon but I am unable to add it to my cart for downloading.

I was looking for how to have an alarm on my phone during the night if the local powergen went out. Are a bunch of apps say they can do it, but after browsing though the jungle I found this one; which is the best. Just plug the phone to power and press start. Alarm stops if power comes back, and app continues monitoring. You can select delay after power loss before alarm (great for quick power outages of less than e.g. 5 sec). Anything longer and I get an alarm!

Saved my chickens. The very first night that I had the app installed, the power went off, and the app woke me up, giving me the opportunity to make other arrangements for my incubator, thus saving my eggs and chickens. I wouldn't have woken up without the app. While the weather is still rough, I will continue ue to use the app. Thank you.
