If the power goes off &amp; the backup battery dies before the power comes back, will it send a text when power comes back on telling that it came on?

You probably should contact PumpAlarm.com as they have excellent customer service. That being said, I will give you my opinion. I would assume that even if the back-up batteries die, which they will over about 2 days (I know this), that when the power does come back on, the unit will re-activate and tell you that the power has come on at a specific time. What you lose if the back-up batteries die, is getting a message about the water level, or whatever it is you are trying to monitor, if there is a problem during the power outage. I believe that when the power comes back on, and IF there was an issue with water where it should not be (or whatever) you would then get a message about that issue.

No battery backup in mine. However if the power goes out, your furnace won't run it's fan anyway. When the power comes back on, the thermostat will resume as left off. We have ours in a vacation home and the power goes off intermittently throughout the winter. The thermostat is always reset and functioning when I check back in. I really enjoy this thermostat for checking in on the house and the external temperatures remotely, and for turning on the heat before we arrive in the winter.

I don't think so. It will reset itself during a power failure (or being unplugged) back to the state it was in when it lost power.

The unit has a compartment for two button type batteries (supplied with the unit) that back up the memory if the power goes out. So the answer is: yes.

Hi, it goes off with a steady beep if the power fails and also "chirps" when the battery starts to get low (my old battery lasted years before this happened). The alarm will go off from a power failure when the power resumes.

Yes. If the power goes off, the phone would still be powered by the by the phone line. What most people don't know is there's actually power on the phone line. As long as your phone line works, the phone will work

the only thing I can suggest is to charge it for twenty or so minutes, then power it back on. By that time, it should be ok to receive a call or place one. when it is completely dead, then charging time may differ from one hour to several hours.

I only use the AC adapter, but I know the battery is an alternate power source so it would make sense to me that the battery would serve as a backup in the event of a power outage if you also use the AC adapter.

I believe there is an indicator, but I honestly don't recall what it is, a light maybe. I knew mine had died because we had a long power outage(about a full day), and when the power came back on, the battery backup would not recharge. Still 5 years for a UPS is rather good. You can replace the internal batteries, but it is usually not that much more expensive to just by a new unit.

The battery is low and it is about to go dead. Anyway that is what happens to mine. Hope that helps!

When your house power goes off and your connected components turn off at the sametime usually your battery is dead.

This is a simple mechanical timer...if the power goes out for 2 hours..it will be 2 hours behind when the power comes back on and will need to be adjusted (or reset) to the correct time.

Yes, but is not something you have to get out and re-charge. I guess it does it automatically, so when your power goes out it stays programmed.

If one of sensor run off battery, console will alert you by a text message and shows a icon on the LCD screen, if one sensor lost communication or not work, it will not affect entire system, all other sensors and console still work as normal.

This is not a battery, it is a battery backup for electronics. It will provide some amount of run time for your electronics after a power outage depending on how much you have plugged into the device and will automatically power down your devices if so enabled. It does start to BEEP when the power goes out and we are talking about minutes use time, not hours, long enough to save your work and shutdown your electronics gracefully.

No battery backup. If you experience frequent power failures, you may get a UPS unit as the phone and handsets does not function when no power.

if it's set at on when the power goes out, it will automatically come back on when the power is restored
