    Alarm for power outage

    Is there an alarm that can be set up to alert me if there is a power outage on my tank?

    Not unless you have a UPS.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    What about the heartbeat? Won't that work for power outage?

    Heartbeat reports a loss of communications between the Apex and the APEX Fusion cloud. That could be due to a power outage, but could also be due to Internet issues, local network issues, etc. The first Heartbeat notification is sent after 35-40 minutes of continuous loss of communications - it's not immediate. Heartbeat alerts are notifications only, and cannot be used to change things in the Apex. Proper use of The If Power statements, the Power Monitoring feature of the Apex, and use of a UPS or other battery-backed power source enable not only immediate alerts upon a power loss, but allow the user to program specific actions to be taken upon loss of primary power.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.
