Lost power will apex run normal

WIReefer · Jul 7, 2020

So we just lost power and it’s gonna be a long time till we have power back I have my apex hooked up to my generator but just curoious if apex is going to run normal like example will my heaters turn off? Until power gets turned back on?

As long as each of your EnergyBars has power from the generator, all your Apex controlled devices will run as normal. You just won't have any access to Fusion or be able to get alarm notifications unless your Internet router is also on generator power.

You must have got hit by the same storm system we did. Streets flooded everywhere. But @SuncrestReef nailed it. Itll continue running off its programming you just cant communicate with it.

We had flash flooding everywhere and I got a couple trickles of water in my basement, it came down HARD for about 45 minutes.

It’s still coming down but it definitely slowed down! We also got some water in basement.

I also keep my internet modem & router & wifi hub on my generator. It does not always come back up once the standby kicks in. I often have to reboot the outlet that drives the modem/router/wifi. That is the luxury of being home when power goes out.

When the power goes out and I am NOT at home... well... prayer and APEX is all you have. So far, so good.

You folks up in the upper Midwest please keep that nasty summer weather to yourselves. We NorEasters can only deal with Jan-Feb NorEasters. Maybe a hurricane every decade or so.
