[QUOTE="scaredshedless, post: 560795, member: 38443"] Hi all, new here so hoping for some expertise! Forgive me if I'm not using the right terminology. I am a biologist and I have a heated shed at the end of the garden to keep various things (tarantulas etc). This is on its own power supply from the house, with its own breaker switch. Previously, we had a breaker board in the house that 'combined' all the circuits... so when the power tripped in the shed, all the lights etc would go off in the house. This was great as I knew when the power was off in the shed, but bad because we work from home and we'd lose internet, etc- horrible if we're in meetings. We are now in an isolated breaker setup so if the power trips in the shed, we stay online (great!), but now I have no way of knowing about it. If we're asleep, there's nothing to indicate the power has gone off. Does anyone have any ideas? I need a system where we are notified that the power has cut off from the shed to the house. We could get a WiFi extender, but obviously if the power cuts off that's off too! Distance is about 10 m. [/QUOTE]
