Power Watchdog by Hughes Autoformers offers advanced, smart RV surge protectors with Bluetooth monitoring, emergency shutoff, and replaceable surge modules.
Power Watchdog is a specialized brand by Hughes Autoformers focused on advanced RV power protection. Known for their Smart RV Surge Protectors, Power Watchdog units feature integrated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing users to monitor live voltage, amperage, and wattage directly from their smartphones. Their comprehensive product line includes both 30-Amp and 50-Amp models, portable and hardwired versions, outfitted with an Emergency Power Off (EPO) feature that automatically disconnects power from dangerous electrical conditions.
A standout feature of Power Watchdog surge protectors is their patented replaceable surge module, which allows users to easily swap out depleted modules and restore full protection without having to replace the entire expensive unit. Whether hooking up at a high-end RV resort or a rustic campsite, Power Watchdog continuously analyzes park power, absorbs dangerous voltage spikes, and visually alerts users with a glowing red LED dog face and specific error codes whenever an issue arises.
