A few months back, my bro (and H) were on holiday and their house experienced a power cut, thus his fridge was a stinky mess on his return. It could have been worse had they owned a goldfish.
My suggestion is a plug extension (travel adapter size) which has an embedded SMS application. Thus,
when the power's down for more than (a predetermined time) it'll SMS a contact company (or a person of your choosing) with a view to sorting it out. The units retail for $50, but you'll get a discount off your insurance.
P.S. should not be used in hospitals, life support etc.

I'm sure they exist already.. I just couldn't find one. |

You keep your goldfish in the fridge? |

How do the maintenance people get into your house? Not so keen to leave my door unlocked just in case. |
|
| |
wouldn't it be easier to text you? |
|
| |
So you could panic and think about it for the rest of your holiday. |

htj, no just so that you could get a pal round there. |

the electricty mains powers the device (stores enough charge in the battery to send a SMS). The idea is that you get it to text a key holder (whether that's you, a friend, a neighbour, or a security company). |

I like it. Of course the alternative is to get your brother to go round and check everything still works. |

I'll have one please. Smelly freezers are grim. |
