Title says it all. Monitors your sump pump within a specific time frame to alert you if it is running too often. Put a multi sensor on your outlet pipe to detect when the pump is running. Pretty simple but very informative.
Thanks @greg for helping me test!!! Please let me know if there are any issues with the app.
