We use something called a "Canary". It is a simple router, switch, or WiFi AP that you run at a site and you don't provide it with battery backup.
Ping it, until it quits and you know that there is no power at that site, if you can still ping the stuff on backup power.

We have a winner! So simple, but yet I didn't think of it... We already have a monitoring system that pings the network, adding this device will be easy. I try to make things to complicated sometimes. Thanks! |
