Abstract
Technology relating to a sump pump monitor is provided herein. A sump pump monitor includes a water level sensor to measure a level of water in a pit of the sump pump, an overflow sensor to detect whether an overflow of the water is present in the pit of the sump pump, and a power monitor to monitor electric power delivered to the sump pump. The power monitor is also to transmit one or more signals indicative of an operational issue associated with the sump pump based on the level of the water, the overflow of the water, and the electric power.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a water level sensor to measure a level of water in a pit of a sump pump;
- an overflow sensor to detect whether an overflow of the water is present in the pit of the sump pump;
- and
- a power monitor to monitor electric power delivered to the sump pump and to transmit one or more signals indicative of an operational issue associated with the sump pump based on at least one of the level of the water, whether the overflow of the water is present, and the electric power.
A system comprising:
- a sump pump;
- a mobile device having a processor and a memory, the memory including program code which, when executed, performs an operation;
- and
- a sump pump monitor comprising:
- a water level sensor to measure a level of water in a pit of the sump pump,
- an overflow sensor to detect whether an overflow of the water is present in the pit of the sump pump, and
- a power monitor to monitor electric power delivered to the sump pump and to transmit one or more signals indicative of an operational issue associated with the sump pump based on at least one of the level of the water, whether the overflow is present, and the electric power.
A method, comprising:
- measuring a level of water in a pit of a sump pump;
- determining whether an overflow of the water is present in the pit of the sump pump;
- monitoring electric power delivered to the sump pump;
- and
- transmitting, to a device, one or more signals indicative of an operational issue associated with the sump pump based on at least one of the level of the water, whether the overflow of the water is present, and the electric power.
