Hi everyone, I’ve been exploring ways to enhance my home’s preparedness for power outages using my smart home setup. After some research, I stumbled upon an interesting idea: creating a scene that alerts me when the power drops. Knowing that my Hubitat hub is backup-powered by an UPS, I thought this could be a great way to stay informed without relying on external notifications.
I currently use dimmer modules and don’t have any wall plugs, so I’m curious if there’s a way to leverage these existing devices to detect power outages. Maybe through some clever automation or by monitoring their status changes? I’d love to hear from others who have implemented similar solutions or have tips on how to approach this.
Safety and preparedness are key, especially during unexpected events. I’m excited to dive deeper into this and see how I can integrate this feature seamlessly into my setup. Let me know your thoughts or experiences!
