A system and method for remotely monitoring a sump pump system are disclosed. The sump pump system comprises a control system connected to an integrated arrangement of a sensor chamber and a sump pump. The sensor chamber includes a pressure sensor and a capacitive touch sensor for measuring the water level to automatically turn the sump pump on when the water rises to a preset level. A wireless controller is connected to the system, for wirelessly receiving monitoring instructions and wirelessly transmitting sump pump status data to a remote device. Further, a user can configure a water-attribute value by using an application in the remote device. The user can operate and manage sump pump data via the application.

Sump pump system and method

Systems for monitoring a sump pump are provided. A system includes a power adapter designed to receive power from a power source. The power adapter is provided in the form of a controller establishing a wireless connection a wireless network and a housing having a first receptacle and a second receptacle. The first receptacle and the second receptacle are designed to accept a float-switch input and a sump pump input, respectively. The float-switch input and the sump pump input are electrically coupled to controller and the power source when accepted by the first receptacle and the second receptacle, respectively.

Systems and methods for a connected sump pump

A system for adapting a water softener for wireless communication is disclosed. In some embodiments, a system for adapting a water softener with a serial communication port for communication with a user via a remote server, an internet connection, and internet enabled device is provided, the system comprising: a wireless gateway device connected to a router; and a wireless adapter connected to the serial communication port, comprising: a gateway node; a transceiver; and a processor programmed to: establish a wireless connection with the wireless gateway; receive a first message from the water softener; cause the gateway node to modify the first message; cause the first modified message to be transmitted to the remote server via the wireless gateway; receive a second message from the remote server; modify the second message for output to the water softener; and transmit the second modified message to the water softener.

Systems and methods for wireless monitoring and control of water softeners

Systems and methods for monitoring operation of a sump pump are provided. A method includes connecting a power adapter to the sump pump and a float-switch. The power adapter includes a controller positioned within a housing, prongs in communication with components coupled to the controller, a first receptacle and a second receptacle. The controller is configured to establish a wireless connection to a first wireless network, and transmit a message to a remote server over the first wireless network. The controller is further configured to determine a power status of a float switch and control the pump based on power status of the float switch.

Sump pump controller

Systems and methods for monitoring operation of a sump pump are provided. A method includes connecting a power adapter to the sump pump and a float-switch. The power adapter includes a printed circuit board (PCB) positioned within a housing, a power supply in electrical communication with components coupled to the PCB, and an integrated chip coupled to the PCB. The integrated chip is configured to establish a wireless connection to a first wireless network, and transmit a message to a remote server over the first wireless network. The method further includes causing an internet enabled device to send one or more instructions that causes the power adapter to connect to the first wireless network, and receiving, using the internet enabled device, a message from the remote server.
