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?

I have one of these, it can run my sump pump for around 8-10 hours if the power is off. Make sure you get a quality deep cycle battery, such as a marine rated battery. Due to the fact that I had the battery back up, my homeowner's insurance will cover my basement for an additional $10,000 over what they normally cover for basement flooding.

This is likely the direction I need to go.

The buzzer solution would require a lot of work. This just costs a good deal up front but it saves on the mitigation maneuvering which is not fun.

Thanks for the link.
