Hello, Dana. OpticRe does allow you to set up email alerts, including low battery voltage detected on inverter. However, if the internet service onsite is not reliable, it will interrupt communications between the MATE3 and OpticsRE.

She does have Hughes-net or equivalent satellite internet & a 2 year old Outback power system/Mate III with a 20 KW Kohler generator. During the latest cold snap (-7°) the generator failed to start as it is in an outdoor unheated "garage". LP gas backs up the whole scenario. Snowmobile is the only access & if it is a snow storm there is a great chance that you are not getting in or out due to sever drifting. Q - In order to send a low power signal (<23.9 VDC?) or generator failure to start distress call from the Outback equipment: What is available to communicate a variety of distress signals via internet? Can the RE Optics interface perform this task? I have a local security/alarm company that can provide via router (this requires AC present though): Low temperature & AC out (but at that point it is too late the house is on a downhill slide), Low DC & or generator failure to start would be preferable. The alarm company's connection to the router can read a closed relay as a command. Suggestions & what have you used? Thanks in advance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dana Orzel Great Solar Works, Inc - NABCEP # 051112-136 E - d...@solarwork.com<mailto:d...@solarwork.com> - Web - solarwork.com O - 970.626.5253 C - 208.721.7003 "Responsible Technologies for Responsible People since 1988" P Please consider the environment before printing this email.
