Introducing a Game-Changer for Power Outage Tracking

A groundbreaking new tool is on the scene for Americans facing power outages: the Ting app by Whisker Labs. This free app leverages data from an extensive network of home sensors to provide real-time updates on outages across the nation.

No Sensor? No Problem!

You don’t need a Whisker Labs sensor to benefit from Ting’s incredible features. This app is a first-of-its-kind, offering immediate alerts on outages at an ultra-local level, making it exceptionally useful for anyone wanting to know if they can safely return home after a power disruption.

Why This Matters Now More Than Ever

With weather-related blackouts becoming more frequent, electric utilities often struggle to keep the public informed. Ting fills this gap, providing timely notifications that can save you a wasted trip back to a powerless home.

How Does It Work?

The Ting app is powered by a network of 1.1 million homes that include Whisker Labs sensors, originally developed to detect dangerous micro-arcing from faulty electrical wiring. Co-founder Bob Marshall was inspired to create the sensor after a family tragedy involving an electrical fire, aiming to help others avoid similar disasters. Now, the app goes beyond individual monitoring to serve as a community resource.

Your Essential Outage Companion

The newly improved Ting app now features an interactive, national outage map. Users can search specific addresses to find out if outages are affecting their area and, most importantly, if power has been restored. With 95% of homes located within a mile of a Ting sensor, the app collects around 30 million electrical measurements per second, allowing it to pinpoint outages accurately.

Community-Driven Insights

During past disasters like Hurricane Beryl, Ting users became crucial information sources for their communities, alerting friends and family when power was back on. This real-world impact is vital, especially when traditional utility maps fail to provide timely or accurate information.

A Rising Need Amidst Climate Change

As climate change increasingly disrupts aging power grids, the frequency of weather-related outages has surged by 60% in recent years. In 2022 alone, residents faced an average of 5.5 hours of electricity interruptions. With tools like the Ting app, staying informed has never been easier.
