I have a smartthings outlet plugged into a GFCI outlet. There is a water pump plugged into the ST outlet… the GCFI trips not an again, leaving no power to the ST outlet or the pump… this causes a bit of a water spill over time…
I am trying to find a way to get an alert when the ST outlet loses power… it does not have to be immediate… a few hours or even a day is fine… Just so I know to go down an reset the GFCI…
I have tried a few things with out luck… since the ST outlet has no power it has to come from the ST hub to check for the missing signal …
I would also like to get and indicator on my action tiles panel… any thoughts?
Most people would use the “simple device viewer” for this. It will let you know when a device has not reported into the network for a period of time that you can specify. so it’s not telling you that the power went out, but it is telling you that it hasn’t heard from the device for a while. That sounds like it would work for your use case. . (We call this a “wellness check.“)
You could ask further questions in the thread for that smart app. (The topic title is a clickable link)
I basically used a common battery powered door/window switch on a no-voltage side of a relay, and wired the other side of the relay to a 110v lamp cord that plugs into the circuit you are trying to monitor. When that circuit loses power, the battery powered door/window switch changes state. In ST you can set your notification to fire and alert you when that switch changes state - nearly immediately. DM me if you have any questions - It has been working great.
