I have a battery backup system in place to run my return pump for up to 5 hours or so in the event of a battery backup. I want to try to figure out how to have the Profilux setup properly with the battery backup unit.
My initial thought was to only have one powerbar attached to the battery backup with only the return pump socket powered if the powerbar senses a disconnect from the controller. Then I was thinking, why not have the controller on the backup power also so that it can send me an email or alert otherwise that the power has failed. Is there any way for the Profilux to know that the power has failed and then notify me? Obviously it would have to have backup power in order to detect this and then act on it. In the event of a power failure, then, I would have only specific things running, so it would be necessary to turn stuff off (like lights, skimmer, ozone ... non critical stuff).
