I have a Generac house generator that comes on automatically when the power goes out. It has wifi, and updates me with a crappy app (and subscription ) on status, including email and text alerts.
I'm new with IFTTT, and don't see a link for that app.
i also have my HS4 on a UPS, so i can't use the logs, as it will show "power" coming back on, but it will be the generator faulting over, and not power from the street (if that makes sense). So using the UPS PI, HS4 thinks i have AC power (but it's coming from the generator)... So i need to actually know when generator is done running.
looking for simple (e.g. not build a RPi and use MQTT ) ideas on how to get status into HS4 that I can use to trigger an event?
