Power Failures Notifications... A "big miss" by Bluetti...
Bluetti offers this unit as alternative power, backup power, always have power, etc... however things fail and you may loose power... even with your Bluetti connected.
The Bluetti is designed to shut off the outbound power to your loads if unsafe power is identified, if an error occurs and for many other reasons. However, you may have critical loads connected to your Bluetti and you if your Bluetti device fails to deliver power to those critical loads, due to it's own cause or external causes, you should be notified... but as of today you are not.
Even though Bluetti doesn't offer a current solution, this doesn't mean that you can't add your own external monitoring... and let me introduce "MySpool".
MySpool - Power Alert:
A company called "MySpool" creates smart alert devices that monitors for set conditions and alerts if the condition is true or false.
In our case, we can use their "Power Failure Alert" monitor that plugs in either the AC output of your Bluetti device or the USB (DC) port and it will monitor for continually power. In the event that power fails, the until will send you an alert by text message or by email to inform you the power has failed.
The MySpool device is capable of sending a power alert notification, even after the power source it is monitoring and connected to fails, because of a replaceable battery inside of the MySpool device.
Other considerations:
In order to receive alerts during a power outage, that also includes an outage from your Bluetti device, you will need to maintain power to your wifi/internet router.
In order to ensure my internet is always available, I have my wifi/internet router on a CyberPower UPS backup unit that will maintain power to my wifi/internet router for an additional hour after a complete power outage. This allows the MySpool device to be able to send me an alert even when everything else is down.
In the below video, I will review this product with you. How to use it and requirements to get a successfully power notification.

MySpool: What a great idea. Being totally off-grid, but needing to know if the grid is down so I can conserve for priority medical equipment should skies also be gray during a grid outage, the other night it was several hours before I noticed that I was the only person with lights on in their house, 65" t.v. happily flickering, computers and AC running while the whole damned neighborhood was dark. Talk about feeling special. :-) However, I "wasted" several hours of battery power because I didn't know I should conserve. This would solve that problem.
