A feature I would like to see is to get an alert notification if my Wyze Plug is disconnected/loses powe or goes offline outside of manual activation in the app. This would help in cases folks could be alerted to power outages or at least get a heads up if power is lost to a sump pump or refrigerato…

When I lose power my phone company sends a text message about the disconnect When it reconnects, it sends another text. What about the cost? $0. I use Google voice that routes through IP to my house phones.

That’s interesting. How does the phone company know you lost electrical service? They have business tie-up with the electricity supplier? This isn’t something a normal household has.

I paid little for the box and hooked it up. No maintenance fee. I used the Google number I used as a second phone for my cell. No annual costs. [20191104_181722]

Is there an alert option when it goes offline? I have an outlet that serves a fridge that randomly every 4-6 weeks just pops the GFI. I want to be alerted so I can re-set it. It is in the basement and it can be days between visits downstairs.

Wouldn’t be too tough. It likely already pings the server every now and then. If the server hasn’t heard from it in X minutes, it’s offline.

That’s not what the user asked. He wants to be notified if there is a power outage. As I indicated, the current Wyze app already indicates if the plug is offline.

The app indicates it, but it doesn’t send a notification based on it, as far as I know.

Still, that’s not what he requested. The event he’s interested in is power outage, not lost connectivity.

@Rob, I get notifications from my SmartLife app when my Teckin plugs go offline, so this should be feasible for Wyze plugs as well. Please comment and vote on this topic in Wishlist. Maybe it should include all Wyze products.
