Anybody tried the new Zooz "ZAC38" repeater with power-outage alerting?

This new Zooz 800 series repeater has a battery, can report power loss, however the official specs state that ISY support is only for the repeater functionality.

Anybody tried ZAC38 and determined if power loss can be reported to eISY?

Their FAQ states  "When the ZAC38 switches to battery, it will send the AC main disconnected report to alert for the outage, and will no longer be a signal repeating device.".  So I guess the question is whether eISY can act on the "AC main disconnected" report?

I have the ZAC38.  The admin console will display the AC Mains Disconnected assuming that the eisy/poolisy is on a UPS.

The only glitch is when the controler is rebooted, the AC Mains stats doesn't update to show connected, however if A/C power to the ZAC38 is lost then the disconnect will again show in the admin console. After a reboot, if you unplug then reconnect the ZAC38 the admin console will show the correct status.

If your controller and router are on a UPS then you're able to receive a power fail email

Cool.

I needed something as a repeater, my goal is to plug this into the other outlet by my fridge, to get an alarm if the breaker serving the refrigerator is tripped.
