Key features
The power goes out at 2am. You find out at 2am.
A building loses power and nothing announces it. The heat stops, the freezer starts thawing, and the pipes begin a countdown, none of it visible until somebody drives out. CabinPulse texts you when the power drops, and again when it comes back.
Outage alerts within seconds
Know within seconds when the power goes out, not hours or days later.
3 to 4 days on battery
The backup battery keeps CabinPulse fully working, monitoring and alerting, for 3 to 4 days.
Low Power Mode for long outages
Turn it on and CabinPulse lasts up to two years on battery. It sends a daily update and still alerts you on temperature limits and power changes within a couple of minutes.
Restoration alerts
Get a second message when the power comes back on, so you know how long it was out.
Its own cellular connection
No WiFi or router to go down with the power. Cellular is included on every plan. Check your area on the coverage page.
Outage history
Every outage is recorded start to finish, so you can see how reliable the power at your property really is.
Every sensor you need to make sure your property is protected is built right into CabinPulse — nothing to add, wire or install.
Switch CabinPulse on, connect it to power, and monitoring starts instantly.
NewEnable Low Power Mode, and CabinPulse can last up to 24 months without a charge while still sending a daily data update and alerting you to temperature and power changes within a couple of minutes. How it works
Power
Know the moment the power goes out. It is usually the first sign that something else is about to go wrong.
Humidity
Damp builds into mould and mildew over a season. Catch it while it is still a small job.
Air quality
Tracks CO2, VOCs and overall air quality, so you know when the air has gone bad in a closed-up building.
No WiFi needed.
Cellular is included and unlimited, on all major networks worldwide. Your property needs no internet at all.
It keeps working in a power outage.
Smart thermostats and WiFi sensors go down with the router. CabinPulse has its own connection via cellular, and its backup battery lasts three to four days.
Check in, anytime.
Every reading is saved, so you can check the full history any time from your phone or computer.

Alerts by text message and email
While you can always check in on the dashboard app, you don't need to. Once your alerts are set up, CabinPulse messages you when something goes wrong.

What actually goes wrong when the power drops
The heat goes with it.
Electric heat stops immediately, and a gas furnace still needs electricity for its blower and controls. In winter the outage and the freeze are the same event.
The freezer thaws quietly.
A full freezer holds for a day or so and then everything in it is a loss. Unless somebody was told, nobody knows to check whether it refroze before they arrived.
The well pump stops.
No power means no water. On a system with a pressure tank the first sign is often a tap that runs dry long after the outage itself has ended.
The monitor goes down with the power.
Anything reporting over the router stops reporting the moment the router loses power, which is precisely the moment you needed it to speak up.
Why most outage monitors miss the outage
The common approach is a WiFi plug or a smart-home sensor that pings a server. Both share one flaw: they need mains power and a working router to tell you that the mains power and the router have gone.
| WiFi plug or smart sensor | CabinPulse | |
|---|---|---|
| Detects mains loss | Only if something else is watching | Directly, within seconds |
| Alerts during the outage | No, it is off with the router | Yes, over cellular on battery |
| Alerts on restoration | Sometimes, once back online | Yes, when power returns |
| Outage duration | Inferred at best | Recorded start to finish |
| Needs internet at the property | Yes | No |
An outage monitor that goes offline during an outage is a monitor you find out about afterwards.
What it is not
CabinPulse tells you the mains have gone and when they come back. It is not a generator, a UPS or a transfer switch, and it will not keep anything else running. Its battery powers the device and its cellular connection, nothing more.
Setup in 60 seconds.
As soon as you connect it to power, it starts monitoring.

Canadian Armed ForcesToronto Transit Commission Frequently asked questions
How quickly will I know about a power outage?
Within seconds. You get a text message and an email, and so does anyone else you have added.
How long does the battery last during an outage?
The backup battery keeps CabinPulse fully working for 3 to 4 days. If you turn on Low Power Mode, it lasts up to two years on battery. In that mode it sends one data update a day and still alerts you within a couple of minutes if the temperature crosses your limits or the power goes off or comes back.
Will I know when power comes back on?
Yes. CabinPulse sends a second alert when the power is restored, and the outage is recorded in your history.
Does this work in remote areas?
It works wherever a supported cellular network reaches the property, and it works on major networks worldwide. Check your area on our coverage page. If it can't connect where you need it, send it back within 30 days.
