Discover Smarter Power Monitoring
What Is Wireless Generator Monitoring?
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.
Choose the Right System
Types of Generator Monitoring
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.
How it Works for Your Brand
Each major manufacturer uses its own proprietary platform to keep you connected:
Generac (Mobile Link™)
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 (OnCue® Plus)
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 (EnergyTrak™ / InfoHub)
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.
Why Homeowners Use It
Instant Alerts
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.
Peace of Mind While Traveling
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.
Dealer Connectivity
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.
Maintenance Tracking
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.
Using Wireless Networks for Secure and Reliable Data Transfer
A reliable wireless network is essential for safe and efficient data transfer between generator components and remote personnel. High-speed Wi-Fi networks provide secure connections with minimal latency so that data can be monitored accurately in real time without interruption or lag. The extra layer of security provided by using a reliable wireless network ensures that your sensitive information stays safe at all times.
Benefits of Wireless Generator Monitoring
Generator monitoring offers numerous benefits, including improved performance, increased safety, lower costs, better energy efficiency, and longer working life spans for generators. Through carefully selecting the right hardware and software solutions and utilizing a secure wireless network for efficient data collection, businesses can realize these advantages while keeping their investments protected from unexpected failures or breakdowns.
