With all the recent wild weather here in the NorthEast I would like to add power outage detection if possible to my Hometroller SE Pro.
The Hometroller, my router, and the ADSL modem are all on a UPS that according to the logs of the recent 16 hour outage (for me) kept everything alive for 2 hours, including internet access. I log many of my readings every 10 minutes and noticed all the battery devices (of course) kept reporting but the hard-wired devices simply had unchanging values.
One thing I did note was my Trane thermostat, which runs on 24vac, had a 0 for the temperature reading 2 hours before the UPS gave up, so that is the point where the power went out I assume.
Has anyone else implemented a power-out script? I have a power-on script that sends me an email with the new IP address since the modem will DHCP a new address when it disconnects (cheaper than paying for a fixed IP). I will implement an email warning based on the Trane temp going to 0 but was looking for a more standard way of doing it?
Thanks in advance for any ideas,
bob
