Power outages are fairly rare in central Europe, and when they do occur, they are usually short. However, if the heating system of your holiday home doesn’t start up again after a power outage, the consequences can be costly. And even if only your freezer at home stops working while you’re on holiday, the stench when you get back can spoil your homecoming. The detector described here detects even short power outages and sends you text message alerts. Note: For 115-VAC operation replace R9 by a wire strap.
