Thunder Monitor is a smart home monitor used by The Thundermans mainly to alert them of approaching visitors so that they can prepare accordingly. But, it can also be used for other superhero purposes such as alerts, communication (especially with the superhero league) and video chats. It has also been shown to perform medical tasks such as diagnosis and treatment.

When not in use, the Thunder Monitor is disguised as part of the main table, with flowers and other objects placed above it. It can be activated by voice commands or by moving some of the objects in a particular way.

Whenever the Thunder Monitor activates, it sounds an alarm, followed by shouting "Alert! Alert!", along with the appropriate response.

In Nowhere to Slide, it is shown that Max has a mini Thunder Monitor that sends an alert when Phoebe (and potentially other members of the Thunderman Family) comes into his lair.

Features

• Door Bell Alert - Starting from the first episode, Adventures in Supersitting, the Thunder Monitor was primarily used to alert the Thundermans of incoming non-supes to give them time to hide any superhero evidence. The monitor detects whoever is waiting on the porch and can identify them by name, relation, or unrealated whatsoever, such as "Non-supe approaching," "Parents approaching," or "Mrs. Wong approaching."

• Customizations - The Thunder Monitor can be customized to add new commands or detect new things. Max and Phoebe eventually programmed it to alert them of other things, including things like parents approaching.

• Hero League Communication - The monitor is the main means of communication with the superhero league as it is used multiple times by Super President Kickbutt when communicating to the Thundermans. e.g. in Haunted Thundermans, Cape Fear, Evil Never Sleeps, Chutes and Splatters e.t.c. This is initiated with the announcement "Incoming transition from Super President Kickbutt." The monitor can also detect the mood of the transition with a subtext, as shown in "I'm Gonna Forget You, Sucka" by adding "...and she is not happy."

• Video Chatting - In The Weekend Guest, it was revealed that the monitor can be used for video chatting when Hank and Barb called home to check on the kids. Initiated by the "Incoming transition" alert similar with the Hero League, followed by the appropriate name.

• Speech Recognition - The Thunder Monitor can understand voice commands from the Thundermans. As seen in multiple episodes, such as Doppel-Gamers, the monitor can understand questions asked by voice.

• Pregnancy Test - The Thunder Monitor can be used for pregnancy tests as seen in the special, A Hero Is Born  when it detects that Barb is pregnant.

  

• Medical Treatment - When Phoebe asks how to defeat Pink Eye in Doppel-Gamers, it initiates pink eye treatment. Phoebe wanted to know how to defeat Pink Eye, the character from the game the were playing.

• Home Security - The monitor can also be used for security and defense. For example, in Original Prankster, Chloe has programmed it to initialize porch lasers when Mrs. Wong approaches.

• Navigation - The Thunder Monitor can track where people are. In Report Card, when Hank asks where the newspaper bandit is, it tracks the bandit down.

• Mood and Personality Detection - When alerting of approaching visitors, the thunder monitor can detect their mood or personalities and announce them. It has used terms like: "Angry nerds approaching", "Angry Cherry approaching", "Annoying neighbor approaching", e.t.c. It can also detect where that person is when detecting moods, such as "Angry Cherry is sulking on porch."

• Home Automation - In Thundersense, the thunder monitor, activates "Training Mode" by moving all the furniture and lighting up the carpet with the Thundermans' "T" logo, ready for Thunder Training.

• General Alerts - The Thunder Monitor seems to alert the Thundermans of other things going on such as commercials. It has shown Splatburger commercials in several episodes including Dog Day After-School, Ditch Perfect.
