Systems and methods for using profiles to monitor generators

Abstract

The disclosure provides an apparatus, system, and method for monitoring multiple portable generators. A monitoring device may include at least one electrical plug to connect to a respective electrical socket of multiple generators. The monitoring device may include a plurality of sensors, a wireless modem, and a processor communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors, the wireless modem, and to a memory storing executable instructions. The monitoring device may generate a unique identifier for a connected generator of the multiple generators when plugged into the electrical socket of the connected generator. The monitoring device may monitor operational parameters of the connected generator based on the plurality of sensors. The monitoring device may store a respective profile for each of the multiple generators, each profile associated with a respective unique identifier and including the operational parameters. The monitoring device may transmit the profile to a mobile device via the wireless modem.
