If the OP is in an apartment and has no control over the supply, be it from the utility or generator, what good does knowing the supply source do? Suppose the OP wants to unplug some susceptible consumer devices if the generator is in use, because (for argument's sake) the gen puts out damaging square waves. By the time the magic monitor has detected 'generator running' any damage is probably already done
No argument from me on that. On the other hand, the output of the magic monitor could be setup to "unplug" (ie., relay or contactor to disconnect) the susceptible device from the outlet. No we're getting fancy...
