ANAHEIM, Calif. – Hughes Autoformers, a leader in RV power solutions, has launched the second-generation Power Watchdog. As the successor to the world’s first Smart RV Surge Protector, which became one of the best-selling RV accessories ever, the new Power Watchdog takes innovation and reliability to the next level, according to a release.
Reimagined from the ground up, the second-generation Power Watchdog introduces an innovative new design that sets it apart from any other surge protector on the market. The Power Watchdog offers enhanced weather protection, improved security, and unmatched user-friendliness. This advanced design includes a lockable, lit clamshell connection bay, making it easier to make connections in the dark while ensuring robust tamper resistance. These features not only protect your RV from electrical faults but also provide a seamless and secure user experience, elevating the standard of RV power management.
One of the standout features of the new Power Watchdog is the addition of built-in WiFi, which complements its existing Bluetooth technology. This integration allows RVers to stay connected and in control from anywhere in the world without the need for extra hardware. With WiFi, users can effortlessly monitor and manage their RV’s power systems remotely, ensuring they are always informed and prepared.
The Power Watchdog is more than just a surge protector–it’s a complete power management ecosystem for your RV. It continuously monitors for a range of faults multiple times per second. Should it detect an issue, it will immediately cut power to your RV and alert you. Once the fault has been resolved and stays resolved for 90 seconds, the Power Watchdog will automatically restore power. With the addition of WiFi, the redesigned mobile app is more powerful than ever. You can control settings such as light brightness, track past faults, monitor energy consumption, reset the consumption meter, remotely cut and restore power to your RV, and get notified of faults anywhere you have cell service.
The second-generation Power Watchdog also features our patented, replaceable surge module. In the event of severe power spikes, users can simply replace the module instead of the entire unit, making maintenance easy and cost-effective. This groundbreaking feature, combined with our industry-leading limited lifetime warranty, ensures long-term protection and peace of mind.
“We listened to our customers and took the best-selling surge protector on the market to the next level,” said Pat Thomas, Owner of Hughes Autoformers. “We focused on every detail, from adding WiFi for global connectivity to small touches like dimming the glow of the Watchdog face and the light in the all-new connection bay within the mobile app. Every detail has been scrutinized.”
Empower your journey with the enhanced functionality, innovative features, and comprehensive protection of the second generation Power Watchdog smart RV surge protectors. Available in 30 and 50 amp variants, with or without the Emergency Power Off feature.
