This may be covered elsewhere, so please direct me. I want to detect when my vacation property's power fails. I have a Tag Manager, Ethernet-to-WiFi adapter and a wireless Internet Hotspot all on UPS power back-up -- they work during a regional power failure.

One thought is to use a house-powered electromagnet placed near a Reed WirelessTagSensor.
Another thought is to use a house-powered relay connected to the exposed contacts of a Water WirelessTagSensor.

Is there a better way?
