The transfer switches I've seen cannot work this way.
I've often thought about just putting a little neon bulb on the grid side of the transfer switch to indicated its uppedness.
But for now, looking at the neighbours' houses suffices. If you have a so-called "smart meter," I think it can tell you when the grid is up, as well.
