How Do You Know When Your Power Is Back On? With A Power On Alarm Of-Coarse 😜

In this video I show and tell a few different ways to know when your power has been restored. Then I show how to install one of these options and we end up with a device that screams bloooody murder! Hopefully you can learn something from my experience and ideas to help you decide which way is best for you that much sooner. But you have options, plenty of them! I chose to do this with sound but you can very easily do this with light as well.

Subscribe with bells and that jazz if ya like, but thanks for watchin! 😃

I have been looking for something similar. What I have is a neon bulb. An actual neon and not an led that I wrapped a wire around one of my mains legs and attached to the red of the neon. The other side of the neon connects to ground. I had to experiment with the number of wraps. I was using a single wire from an Ethernet cable. Pretty slim wire. If I used a thicker wire I am sure it would have worked better but the neon glows when I have mains power. It does not glow when I don’t. I spent $6 bucks on a package of neons. Already had the Ethernet cable I butchered. I like that but would hate to be woke up in the middle of the night by that siren lol but I could hear it an know that power was restored from remote without having to walk out and lay eyes on it so there are some pros. Thanks for the videos.

I'm in the market for such a project as I'm installing an interlock on my panel to feed generator to the house after huricane ian here in Florida and wanted a safe way to know when the power is back on. I live kinda in the sticks and can't see nearby lights and have been looking at safe options without physically connecting something to the unbreakered side of my panel input, just found this device and seems like a great solution and will buy one but I want to modify it to flash a bright LED light in the main living space and possible a quite bell. I want an audio alert but don't want a burglar alarm blowing my ear drums out at 4am lol. The inductive pickup is a great safe way to tell when mains is back, just want more options than a lout siren. I'm sure a little soldering and tinkering could make a suitable solution. Thanks for showing the product 👍

Wow! This is just what I need. I have been kicking around ideas using a light with an on off switch connected to one of the entrance cables. Thanks.
However, you might want to write some kind of script to follow for your next video. A fascinating 10 minute video stretched out to 21:33 minutes becomes hard to endure.

My panel is in my garage and I have a hard time hearing this alarm in my house. I also had to open it up and adjust the VR to get it to sound. Otherwise it works fine.

which app were you using for sound meter?

7:40 to 14:20 is what you actually came here to see - you're welcome.

They need to make something that will send an alert to your phone.

Leave your sterio on full volumn geezeepeezees. The trick is when you have a manual switch to a generator. What a waste of time.
