Champion Power Equipment Partners with OmniMetrix to Deliver Remote Monitoring and Control Solutions for its aXis and fleX Home Standby Generators
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OmniMetrix Solutions Provide Champion dealers and homeowners 24/7 visibility into their home standby power
Las Vegas, NV and Buford, GA — August 6, 2026 — Champion Power Equipment and OmniMetrix, LLC, a subsidiary of Acorn Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACFN), today announced a partnership to offer OmniMetrix remote monitoring and control as an added option on Champion’s aXis and fleX home standby (HSB) generator lines. The program gives Champion’s authorized dealers and their customers access to mission critical real-time, 24/7 insight into generator status and health — helping identify potential issues before they impact home standby power availability.
Available as an option across the aXis and fleX HSB generator lines, the solution pairs OmniMetrix monitoring hardware with the OmniView web portal and OmniMetrix mobile app. Homeowners and dealers can check generator condition from anywhere, conduct automatic periodic generator tests and receive text and email alerts, keeping the whole system — generator and automatic transfer switch — ready for service.
“When homeowners invest in backup power, they expect it to be ready when they need it most. By partnering with OmniMetrix, we’re giving both our dealers and customers the best-in class solution for greater visibility into generator performance and system health, helping identify issues early and providing added confidence that their Champion home standby generator will be prepared when an outage occurs.”
– Greg Pauken, Director of Product Development, Champion Power Equipment
Key features of the program include:
- 24/7 remote monitoring of aXis and fleX home standby generators
- Text and email alerts for generator status and faults
- Access from anywhere through the OmniView web portal and OmniMetrix app
- Cellular (LTE) connectivity for remote locations, with data covered in the annual monitoring plan
- U.S.-based OmniMetrix support for the monitoring program, plus over-the-air updates
OmniMetrix remote monitoring solutions can help prevent up to 95% of generator failures.
“We are very excited about our partnership with one of the fastest growing generator brands on the market. This partnership combines two market leaders with decades of innovation, experience and dependability into one seamless package, including offering top tier customer service to support our customers.”
— Jesse Gott, General Manager, OmniMetrix
The program is expected to launch in late summer 2026, with additional details on availability, pricing, and ordering to be communicated to Champion authorized dealers closer to launch. Champion authorized dealers will be able to add OmniMetrix monitoring hardware to HSB generator orders, with monitoring and activation handled directly with the dealer and homeowner. All support for the monitoring program is provided directly by OmniMetrix. Full pricing and ordering details will be provided to dealers in a dedicated program sell sheet.
