When EDL/Generator is ON, how can I receive notifications on my phone?

To receive notifications on your phone when the EDL (Electricité du Liban) or generator is ON, you can use a smart switch, such as the Sonoff Mini R4/ Sonoff Mini R4 Matter Smart Switch. This device needs to be connected to an indicator light (Témoin Lamp) in your electrical panel, which signals whenever the EDL or generator line is active.

Once set up, the device will show as ONLINE when power is present. If the power source loses connection, it will indicate as OFFLINE after five minutes, and you will receive a notification alerting you to the status change.

This setup allows you to monitor both the grid and generator status accurately and helps you create automation scenes based on each device’s status.
