I am looking to replace my current sump pump with a battery backed up solution. Since my sump pump is in a closet in a finished basement, I would really like to find intelligent ways to monitor it via my ElkM1. All the solutions I have looked at have built in monitoring but no way to supervise their status externally. Some have 12V connections or LEDs/Alarms for indicators that might be tapped, but I am no electronics guy so unless it is some splicing of wires I am not very confident in doing it (i.e. no soldering).
I already have a bucket sensor to monitor water levels, so that is not my concern, things I would like an indicator for are:
