RE: Alert if GFCI trips? - FireWood - 04-16-2019

I would like to put a GFCI on all the basement circuits (I think there are three). What is the best way to set up an alert system, so that if the GFCI trips, I know about it, and can react?
Thanks.

plug one of these into each circuit?

The OP said he has a sump pump hooked up to it and it's wet down there. I'd say that's the best reason for an alarm.
He said he wants to react-- yeah, if the GFI has tripped, he can at least either get it turned back on, or run an extension cord up to the 2nd floor that is still functioning so the basement doesn't flood.
