Ups. Power conditioners for your whole house are very expensive and you would still need batteries for it for the brown/blackout conditions. You can get a generator to cover outages but they are not meant to run 24/7.
couldn't something I'm talking about be built though and using instead of a battery, a non-consumable capacitor to power it to monitor power and if the power is completely dead for x minutes and capacitor power runs out you have to manually reset the thing? This could be done in an enclosure the size of a smart outlet and without the bt or wifi one of those has, it has a capacitor and should not really cost much different?
