Abstract

See full text

Described methods and systems user to manually activate or engage the pump from a remote location and/or to monitor the state of the sump pump (e.g., the water level, the pump condition, pipe conditions, etc.) when located at a remote location relative to the sump pump. A sump pump system may implement sensors configured to detect motion or acceleration of a sensor disposed in water in the sump basin or disposed on a sump pump or pipe. The sump pump system may analyze data from these sensors to identify diagnostic metrics or values that are transmitted to a user's user interface device, thereby notifying a user of conditions such as a stuck impeller, a blocked pipe, a dry pumping pump, etc.
