Are there any devices that can detect weather or not power is coming from a 110v outlet and act as a trigger like this device I found? Or a smart multimeter? That works too I think.
So I can have hubitat kill everything not-essential if the power goes out to keep the UPS es going longer

This may give you some ideas.
In a few weeks I am having a sump pump installed in my crawl space because of on going water issues. I have a receptacle in the area of the pump that is tied into a GFIC outlet. For obvious reasons I want to be notified if this outlet ever loses power.
I saw @Cobra and @Navat604 old posts on the ST community
Curious if these solutions are still working or if there are better ideas.
@Navat604 what relay did you use in your contact sensor? It is very small and appears like you have it in…
This is what I use.
I used a Monoprice Contact Sensor KFR-ZD2105US-5, 2N2222 transistor, 220 ohm resistor and a old USB cord. It uses less current than a relay.

Anyone know if there's a driver for this? I imagine I can just put a 12v adapter into the input for the sensor and if the power goes out it'll report no power right?

Just be sure you’re aware OK with that device as it looks to be Zwave NOT “ZwavePlus”.

These links outline the benefits of ‘plus’ which should be faster.

OR
Z-wave plus is the newest generation (2015) in zwave. It is also called fifth generation, or gen five, Z-wave. Lots of improvements. The zwave piece itself is smaller, which means sensors and other devices including it can be smaller, and it...
