Here in the Sierra, power outages are a way of life. They can be caused by heavy rain or wind, ice and snow, or some flatlander thinking he can drive his shiny new 4WD on icy/snowy mountain roads the same way he does in the city.
Didn’t even know this capability existed… thanks Jesse Ziegler!

You can connect the hub and internet connection device (e.g. modem, router, etc.) to a battery backup power strip so that the motion detector and detect the loss and the hub and router will still have enough power to get the message out before they fail as well.",
