I haven’t heard if any of these units are wifi/bluetooth capable so you can check the status of the unit without opening up the panel.
I just got an Eaton whole house surge protector at the panel & you do not have to take the panel off or even open it to see if it is working. In my case it was installed beneath the panel & every time I look over at the wall I can see the two green lights telling me that it is still on the job.
