Monitor the power consumed

Features & Capabilities

POWER WATCHDOG Bluetooth ONLY is a compact extension for monitoring power consumption from BLE-enabled energy sensors (models PWD30-EPO, PWD50-EPO, PWD30-EPO-H, PWD50-EPO-H). The extension scans nearby Bluetooth Low Energy devices, identifies supported sensor types, and selects the appropriate interface for each sensor so you can view real-time consumption data quickly and reliably.

Designed for facility managers, installers, and IoT integrators, POWER WATCHDOG also delivers immediate alert messages derived from sensor error codes so you can respond to faults fast. Lightweight and focused on BLE-only devices, it simplifies energy oversight and helps maintain continuous monitoring without extra configuration effort.

User Reviews

Users praise the WatchDog hardware for protecting RV power effectively and providing real-time voltage and current monitoring with a convenient remote reset feature. However, the Android app is criticized for unstable Bluetooth connectivity, frequent crashes, and the need to reconnect or scan QR codes repeatedly. Many users desire enhanced app features like historical data tracking, customizable alerts, and WiFi capabilities. Overall, the device performance is solid, but the app's reliability and functionality significantly detract from the user experience.

Pros

The physical WatchDog device itself is reliable and effective in protecting RV power systems.
App allows real-time monitoring of voltage and amperage, providing valuable insights.
Ability to reset the power remotely from within the app is convenient and appreciated.
The app successfully notifies users of power faults when connected.
Simple and straightforward functionality for basic power monitoring and control.

Cons

Bluetooth connectivity is inconsistent and unreliable, often requiring close proximity or multiple attempts to connect.
App frequently crashes or requires uninstalling and reinstalling to function properly.
Lack of features such as historical data tracking, power usage graphs, or customizable alerts.
The app does not remember paired devices; users must scan QR codes or reconnect each time the app updates or is restarted.
No WiFi connectivity option, which limits monitoring range and convenience, especially when power is cycled.

Recent reviews

The device is great, the app is poor. You can't track usage over time. When it does detect a problem the error message can't be saved and you have to clear the message to see the current readings. The message box is translucent so it is difficult to read.

It worked with my Pixel phone a while back, say 6 months ago. When using it again I got scanfailed: 2. When opening the app. After trying to redo the setup, still got the error when opening the app. Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't help. Rebooting made error go away but still didn't see device. Works on my wife's phone. Me: Android 14.
