is there software that will notify me by email or text that power went out

The software is meant to systematically shutdown your computer should power fail and backup battery becomes depleted. It will not email you of status.

Yes there is, it is downloadable from their site. You have to set it up in the more advanced mode that allows this function.

no it does not. it will go on and stay on until power comes on or it runs out. if there is a power failure and it appears that it will last some time, i turn the device off. i also had the previous version of this and this feature (have an easy accessible switch) is great. maybe on the next version it can contact you although i am not sure what you will with that info.

The phone line has to work during a power outage. Most internet phones will not.

Yes, you can set up a notification by email but I haven't done it. I agree with Robert Showalter that you can't miss the beep on failure. I've had two drives die, recovery was straight-forward although the documentation is opaque.

No. Messages already recorded are not lost, but the unit won't work if the power fails.

Yes! However, if your phone power goes out, as well, I don't know the answer.

No alert at the sensor. Only alert I see is via email or text or when lookint at the app to see the status.

You can purchase a battery backup for the Web600 so it will continue to function during a power outage. However, you will not receive any notices via the Internet until the power is restored. You could use the relay output to trigger a dial out device to make a phone call but what requires an additional device. I chose the Internet capability over dial out. I have mine monitoring my oil boiler temperature as well as boiler lock out.

There is battery back-up for a specified number of hours. I use the prerecorded message that came with the device. So far when the power has gone out, all I have to do is reset the time and date.

You need an insteon capable hub to communicate with this device that is capable of sending email alerts. I use powerlinc usb hub with homeseer software to get alerts for this and many other isteon devices.

Not sure what you are asking, there is no software sent with the Tripp Lite. You just plug it in and hope it works in my case it did not and I lost two computers and Tripp Lite would not honor the insurance. Hope this helps, the Tripp Lite Batteries are expensive and not much better than a high end surge protector.

You can configure it to send an email when an error occurs. You can select which conditions should generate an email. There's also a text message option.

Yes, I use a home automation platform called HomeSeer 3. It has a plugin that connects to the Insteon PLM. From there you can setup events to do many things including send emails. I have two of these sensors and put both on my garage fridge and freezer. When opened, I start a timer and if they aren't closed relatively quickly I send myself and email SMS text to my phone. This has saved the contents of our freezer several times as someone forgets to close it tight.

Buy a UPS of the type you use on your computer. All functions are there. Size it to how long a power failure you want to ride through.

Yes you can have it send you text and/or e-mail notices if temp goes above or below certain temps. Also if furnace staying on longer than expected, motion (with addition of inexpensive wireless sensor) etc. Also my experience with their support has been very good.

Google "Very Cheap TED 1001 House Power Monitors (and possible hacking)". You can run a perl or pyhon script to get the data on linux if your computer savy.
