App for power outage

I was wondering if there is an app which would advise you if the power is out in your trailer. We don’t really want our dog being stuck in an overheated trailer while we are out. Something like this would can us a warning, and piece of mind.

There are several apps that warn of high temps and power failures. The equipment runs about $120-$150 and the monthly monitoring fee is around $20, lower with an annual subscription.

Waggle & Marcel are a couple

I use Marcel for my houses as it warns of Temp (high & low), Humidity and Power failure and can be set up for water with an additional probe. Consequently it is a little more expensive.

No experience with Waggle. They both run on Verizon's network which has great nationwide coverage, but you don't need Verizon for the app.

+1 for Marcell, been using it for years. Use it in the winter to warn of possible freezing when the unit is in the garage and use it while traveling specifically re: pup in the coach while we are gone.

Hi Grumpy,
Is this device treated as another phone on the Verizon network, like another cell phone?
Thanks,
