Remote generator monitoring is a digital “safety net” for your home’s backup power system. Instead of having to walk outside and check the control panel on your generator, the system uses Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity to send real-time data directly to your smartphone, tablet, or computer. Whether you are at work, on vacation, or safely inside during a storm, you can confirm that your generator is ready to protect your home.
Available with most newer generators, Remote Monitoring allows you to share your generator's information with our service operations center through your home's WiFi connection.
Proactive DiagnosticsWe can see if your generator is having an issue, and review its run history and key data. We will reset errant faults and can walk you through self-fixes to save you time and money.
The Goal: 100% ReadinessWhen your generator has an issue requiring further care, we can proactively call to schedule a visit with a trained technician. Our goal is to fix your system BEFORE you need it, avoiding long, dark, and hot nights without power.
Remote wireless monitoring allows generators to be monitored remotely using wireless technology. It gives technicians the ability to monitor multiple elements at once and view detailed data on each element. Onsite monitoring requires physical presence for technicians to review data points in person and make manual adjustments if needed. Automated system testing allows for more thorough reviews of a generator’s performance over time by continuously running tests on machines in order to detect any issues that may arise.
Each major manufacturer uses its own proprietary platform to keep you connected:
This is the most common system for Guardian series owners. It allows you to view your generator’s current “Ready” status, track its exercise history, and receive push notifications the moment your power goes out or the generator starts running.
Kohler’s system offers deep technical insights. Beyond simple status updates, homeowners can view real-time power production, engine temperature, and even manage specific electrical loads (turning off a non-essential AC unit remotely, for example) if the generator is equipped with the right accessories.
Briggs & Stratton’s newest platform, EnergyTrak, provides a unified dashboard. It is particularly useful if you also have a battery storage system, as it shows you exactly how much power your home is consuming versus what the generator is providing.
Receive a text or email if the generator fails its weekly self-test. This allows you to fix a small issue (like a low battery) before a storm hits.
If you are away and a storm strikes, you’ll get a notification the second your generator takes over the house load, letting you know your pipes won't freeze and your food won't spoil.
Most plans allow you to "link" your generator to your local service provider. If a fault occurs, your technician receives the exact error code automatically, often allowing them to diagnose and fix the problem before you even know it exists.
The apps track engine hours and notify you when it’s time for an oil change or spark plug replacement, ensuring you stay within your warranty requirements.
