Ya, the router and starlink are backed up with ups to cover it until generator starts up. I get email and push notification immediately upon power loss, or any change of state in the generator. I can monitor the generator from the cloud anywheres. This outage only lasted 1.2 hours.

Seamless power AND you have the Key Data @ your fingertips, doesn't get better than that.

If I still traveled (for work) like I did Years Past, That ^ is what I'd want in-place @ Home.

I still work maintaining generators and some minor electrical work for friends and old customers. I still like keeping updated as to generator operations.

Mentally Engaging Activity (y)

Faced with retiring, and sitting around watching what used to be called Daytime Television..... most of us would choose to Change The Channel, the way The King reportedly did.....

Back ice-storm here, Central/East Ontario.

Out for 14 hours @ home, 7kw Briggs did fine. Needed the sump pump moving a LOT of water, job done.

Electronics..... some interesting things along the way. Got up @ 3am, could see this area not yet reported to hydro (Canuck Elec Util), so called on my wife's cell that I had the map on...... after about 10 minutes, it wasn't a "normal" call drop (lousy cell coverage), but got a BIG pop-up that said "This network is not supporting Voice calls at this time". Shedding load, with the tower on Emerg pwr.....

So, one of the reasons I still have a landline, is for times like yesterday...... spent 30 minutes on hold, to get someone live to report the outage early. Then..... got my gen running in good time.

New UPS doesn't like the AVR on my 7kw (kept switching back to battery, when the 7kw was under light-load). Haven't studied it further yet.... something for my ToDo list.

Internet was down, I'm on cable, and the pedestal boxes only have enough battery for a few hours. Buddy 2 hours away (same storm, but hit worse), had fibre down for a while too...... Starlink does look good, for times like these....

Hoping you don't NEED to run yours soon, but wishing they start-up fine if you do....
