Am I right… there is no way to send a notification to my phone when the UPS Mode kicks in? Or at least, how do I enable it? I can’t find it anywhere. Surely a unit being used as home backup should be able to notify you when it is actually doing the Home Backup part.
Hi @BigBrosMo
welcome to the bluetti community forum! Good to have you here.
At the moment, no notifications are supported by the bluetti app. But its already on their feature list to implement.
The only possibility for automation at the moment is a own HomeAssistant (or similar) Server with a unofficial plugin to connect your units to it.
greetings

Hi @BigBrosMo, We have been working diligently to enhance our mobile notification system.
Currently, we are focusing on notifying users about specific scenarios, including firmware upgrades and battery maintenance notification. At this stage, testing is limited to the AC2A model, but we plan to expand this feature to other app-compatible models in the future.
Additionally, we are implementing low battery push notifications, which are currently being tested on the EP series (Home Battery Backup) and the Elite 200 V2 models. We will also roll this out to other Wi-Fi connected app models later on.
We’re not entirely clear about the scenario you mentioned regarding “when the UPS Mode kicks in.” Are you asking if a mobile notification is needed when the UPS activates due to a power outage? Please provide more specific information so we can assess its feasibility and consider developing this new feature.
Thank you to @Selfmadestrom for the helpful response; it is greatly appreciated.

Hi thanks for your reply. Yes, exactly that about the UPS activation. If I have that enabled, and the UPS activates due to a power outage, I should receive a notification about it so I can make arrangements and monitor the unit to make sure, for example, I can turn on a generator or something if it looks like the battery is going to deplete. Most UPS systems have a way to inform the user when the main power is cut. Thanks!
Hi @BigBrosMo, Thank you for your detailed explanation; we have understood your needs.
Under normal circumstances, when a sudden power outage occurs, the Elite 200 V2 will quickly supply power to household appliances in UPS mode.
At this time, the Elite 200 V2 has stored a certain amount of power and does not need to immediately use the generator to produce electricity.
However, it will send a notification when the power level is at 20%, at which point you can start the generator.
Do you think you need to receive a notification immediately when the power is cut? We will forward your opinion to the app department.
