What Is Mobile Link - Generator Monitor

What Is Mobile Link?

Mobile Link is Generac's remote monitoring platform for home standby generators. Using the Mobile Link app or web portal, you can check your generator's status, view upcoming maintenance, and receive notifications if the system needs attention.

Most newer Generac air-cooled home standby generators come with onboard Wi-Fi, so they're ready to connect to Mobile Link right out of the box.

How Mobile Link Works

Your generator connects to your home network

Built-in Wi-Fi on most 2018-and-newer air-cooled and Guardian® models lets the generator connect to your router.

Mobile Link talks to Generac's secure servers

The generator sends operating data (status, run time, faults, etc.) to Generac's cloud platform.

You monitor everything from the Mobile Link app or browser

Optional accessories allow connection over cellular networks and enable fuel tank level monitoring for even more robust protection.

Key Features & Benefits

Real-Time Generator Status

See at a glance whether your generator is "Ready to Run," exercising, or in a fault condition.

Alerts & Notifications

Receive text, email, and push notifications if your generator starts, stops, needs maintenance, or has an error.

Run Time & Exercise Tracking

Monitor run hours and manage your exercise schedule to keep maintenance on track and help extend generator life.

Maintenance Reminders

Get alerts when it's time for service so you can schedule maintenance before minor issues turn into major problems.

Dealer Connection & Service Requests

Choose Brite Generators within the Mobile Link app, and you can send service requests with just a few taps, no phone call required.

Fuel Level Monitoring (Optional)

Add an LTE LP Fuel Level Monitor to see propane tank levels right in the app and reduce the risk of running out during an extended outage.

Peace of Mind - Anywhere

Whether you're at home, at work, or out of town, you can confirm that your backup power system is ready for the next outage.

Connectivity Options & Accessories

Mobile Link supports multiple ways to stay connected, depending on your home and location:

1. Onboard Wi-Fi (Standard on Most New Units)

Built into most 2018+ Generac air-cooled home standby and Guardian Series generators.
Connects directly to your home router for fast communication and automatic firmware updates.

2. Cellular Accessory (Optional Upgrade)

For homes without reliable Wi-Fi or with poor router coverage near the generator.
Uses multi-carrier LTE (4G/5G) across the U.S. and Canada for more reliable monitoring, even during outages when home internet might go down.

3. LTE LP Fuel Level Monitor (Optional)

Attaches to your propane tank and integrates with Mobile Link to display tank level and help prevent "dry tank" situations.

Mobile Link FAQs

Q: Do I need Wi-Fi for Mobile Link to work?

A: Most homeowners use the generator's built-in Wi-Fi to connect to a home router. If Wi-Fi coverage is poor or you don't have a router near the unit, a Cellular Accessory can provide LTE connectivity instead.

Q: Will Mobile Link still work during a power outage?

A: Yes, if you use the Cellular Accessory, it uses the cellular network and can continue to send updates during outages, provided local cell service is available. Wi-Fi monitoring will depend on whether your home router and modem are powered by backup power.

Q: Can Brite Generators monitor my generator for me?

A: With dealer-managed options, a Generac-certified dealer like Brite Generators can be granted access to view your generator's status remotely, receive alerts, and help coordinate maintenance, offering a more "hands-off" ownership experience.

Q: Does Mobile Link support fuel monitoring?

A: Yes. With an LTE LP Fuel Level Monitor integrated into Mobile Link, you can view propane tank levels inside the app for added peace of mind during long outages.

Q: Is there a free version of Mobile Link?

A: Generac offers free Basic Wi-Fi monitoring for eligible generators. Premium monitoring plans, which add more robust alerts and features, are available as paid subscriptions.
