Power failure alarm question

[Itsahobby]

Hi all,
Not sure if one exists but, I am looking for a power failure alarm that you can set for a minimum amount of time the power is off. Let's say an hour after the power is off, the alarm sounds.
Typically, my sump pump is running when the power goes out and I want to know if I need to fire up the generator.
Thanks for any input.

What kind of alert?

Audible
Visual
Text
Email

It'd have to be on battery backup because it'd need power to transmit.

I'm sure there's a better way but if you want to be alerted by phone you could get these and put one by your sump pump and if it gets wet it will alert you.

It would also alert you if your pump wasn't doing it's job (quit).

If you want inexpensive look at https://myspool.com/
Chinese products, decent USA tech support, AWS for text notifications.

I am looking for something I can delay. I'd like for it to not go off if the power is only out for an hour or less.
Thanks for the input.

If you have internet access, get a uninterruptible power supply that comes with monitoring software. Then you can put your cable modem and router on it so they work through power outages, and it can send you an email when the battery gets low or after a chosen time on battery. I have a few APC units.

Funny, my son texted me this same info. LOL

why not put a water sensor near the top of the sump pit, so when it gets to a level, it triggers the audible alarm?

This has been a big help in my house. Has alarmed on high sump level and when the water heater started leaking. Multiple water sensors can be ganged together. Alarms (will call your phone) in the event of an alarm, and on loss of power.
