The full story
The PumpSpy hardware is meant to warn of sump pump failures, but its owner found it limited. With Claude's help he built a set of Home Assistant automations and helpers to replace it.
They alert when the pump's run interval changes suddenly by more than 25%, run a watchdog that tightens during heavy rain and warns if the pump goes quiet, detect when the power sensor itself drops offline, and send a "Sump Resumed" message after winter. Installation is manual.
