#Monitor power outages that are too fast for a UPS?

Sometimes I have quick power outages, so quick, that my UPS does not detect it. Are there any devices out there capable of detecting any brief change in power?

My Ecolink Chime+Siren regularly reports power outages that my UPS's didn't notice. I do not, however, have the equipment to tell if it's detecting real issues on the socket it's on, or if it's giving false reports.

It's a speaker with a battery on Z-wave (acts as repeater), plugs right into an outlet. It has some ring tones/doorbell sounds, some siren/alarm sounds, and a few built-in phrases like "Front Door" or "Armed Away". It says a microsd card can be added with a couple hundred more sounds you record yourself. One of its alerts to Home Assistant is losing or gaining power.

#

It's supposed to run for 24 hours without wall power.

No, battery is not replaceable officially to my knowledge. Any sound has to be prerecorded in one of ~200ish custom slots, but then you can play it.
