Will the Portable Power Watchdog Surge Protector HU42VR Send Notifications Over WiFi?
Updated 10/30/2025 | Published 03/25/2025 >
Question:
Will the unit provide a notification of a power outage when you are out of range of the bluetooth signal? In other words, since this model has WiFi capability, is a power outage notification being sent to you regardless of where you are?

Yes, that is correct Tom! So long as the Portable Power Watchdog Surge Protector item # HU42VR is connected to WiFi you'll get notifications assuming your phone also has signal.
