Systems and methods for wireless monitoring of sump pumps based on geographic location

A method of remotely monitoring a sump pump, the sump pump being coupled to a motor, the method comprising:

• assigning an internet protocol address to the pump;
• connecting a wireless adapter to a controller of the pump;
• establishing a wireless connection between the wireless adapter and a cloud based server via a wireless gateway;
• uploading a geographic location for the sump pump to the cloud based server;
• transmitting the geographic location from the cloud based server to a manufacturer database;
• establishing communication between the cloud based server and a remote user device;
• sensing a water level parameter in proximity to the sump pump;
• uploading the water level parameter from the controller of the sump pump to the cloud based server;
• providing for remote monitoring of the water level parameter from the remote user device over the wireless connection;
• determining whether the water level parameter has exceeded a predetermined value;
• sending a first alert message to the remote user device when the water level parameter has exceeded the predetermined value;
• accessing the manufacturer database to determine the geographic location of the sump pump;
• and
• sending a second alert message to a device manufacturer of the pump through the wireless adapter and the cloud based server that the water level parameter has exceeded the predetermined value at the geographic location, wherein the second alert message is different from the first alert message and wherein the second alert message includes additional information relevant to the device manufacturer.
