Best Power Outage Monitor for Canada? It's Made in Canada.
Power outages can be a big deal - especially in Canada where severe weather and remote properties with unreliable power sources are uniquely common. It's important to get alerted right away when things go wrong, and stay in-the-loop while power is down. Frozen pipes, spoiled food, damaged assets and financial losses are on the line.
Power outage monitors are devices that monitor a power supply for loss of power, and send you a notification by text, email or phone call. They should be simple, easy-to-use and above all, reliable. This isn't the sort of thing you want to leave to chance - you need to know that it will work when you need it most.
That's why any serious options work using a cellular connection and a backup battery - WiFi usually goes down with power - so naturally you need a different way to get notifications out.
However, not all power outage monitors are made equal - especially in Canada with our unique challenges. Fortunately, there's a power outage monitor that's made in Canada and stands above the rest in terms of reliability, coverage, cost and features: CabinPulse.
The Canadian Power Outage Monitor
CabinPulse is a power outage monitor that's proudly made in Canada, works on every Canadian network, with a hefty backup battery that lasts up to 3 days and automatically recharges when power returns.
If there's an outage, you can expect to receive a text and email notification within ~5 seconds. You can add unlimited contacts to receive notifications, too.
You also have total control over your notifications - you can customize the threshold for duration of outage before receiving a notification. For instance if you only care about outages lasting more than 5 minutes, that's an option.
CabinPulse has a sleek dashboard where you can view total power outage history including total duration of outages over a set date range.
CabinPulse is built with reliability at the centre; it's used in industry across Canada with the option for setting up Service Level Agreements and with automatic uptime monitoring so you'll be alerted if the device stops reporting for any reason; CabinPulse blurs the line between consumer pricing and industrial reliability.
More Than Power Outage Monitoring
While power is out, monitoring continues - and it's not just power that CabinPulse monitors. It also tracks temperature, humidity, air quality and listens for smoke alarms - all both while power is active and for up to 3 days while power is down.
Other Options? Not Made for Canada.
Options like iSocket are manufactured overseas with limited support, limited backup battery, high costs, minimal network coverage in Canada (Rogers only, no Telus, Bell or SaskTel) and with add-on costs for anything but the most basic power alerts. To top it off, the device cost is higher than CabinPulse!
CabinPulse isn't just designed in Canada - it's built, tested, marketed, sold and shipped from Saskatoon, SK. When you reach out to our support team, you'll be speaking with someone right here in Canada.
If you need to know the moment there's a power outage at your property in Canada - there's only one option to consider. It's the device built by Canadians, in Canada, for the specific needs and unique geography and coverage challenges that come with living here.
CabinPulse if $199 CAD with monthly service starting at $10 CAD/month. You can purchase it from CabinPulse.com or on Amazon Canada.
