A tool/device you plug into socked and it emits an alarm if the power goes off? (lemmy.ml)

Come on you tool lovers out there. Has anyone heard of the device I described on the subject line? Anything close?

Dude forgot to pay his power bill but has money to blow on devices that alert him that he forgot?

Maybe they live in Texas and are getting ready for possible power outages during the winter storms. Not sure what it would be for, I always hated that my battery backup for my work computer would beep when the power went out

Lol. Seriously though, even when I'm asleep, if the power goes out I hear it. There's so much fucking noise generated by fans, computers, etc... that when it happens the silence is deafening.

We live in a part of town with very tall trees — when it gets windy, the power goes out due to branches falling.
