One Hub and one or more Nodes are required for the Extended Range DIY Alert operation. This is only the Node, a Hub can be purchased separately, see the last device on this page.

The Node and the Hub communicate over the air. Only the Hub requires WiFi to send alerts to MySpool cloud servers. This combination greatly increases the range of the standard MySpool DIY device which uses WiFi and does not require a Hub. Our tests have shown reliable alerts sent at 300 feet by a standard MySpool DIY and at over 1200 feet by DIY Alert Nodes. These Nodes can be placed in locations without WiFi access, behind stucco and cinder block walls, and still reliably communicate with a MySpool Hub as long as they are within 1200 feet of each other.

Note: only email and pushover/pushbullet alert notifications are supported.  3 AAA batteries are required, not included. To add SMS notification using email-to-SMS gateway see here

Note: press the 'TEST' button or short the two pins of the white connector to trigger an alert.;

• Connect your HUB to WiFi and trigger an alert
• Create a new account at myspool.com and click on email link to confirm it or login to your existing account
• Confirm your email subscription for AWS for this device to receive alert notifications
• Trigger an alert from your device again and receive an email notification!

We hope that you find this device useful and share with us how you are using it in your application.
