This is a Wi-Fi based device that can remotely alert the user 

of potential water problems in their home.  It will use the 

internal Wi-Fi chip to connect to the user’s Wi-Fi network 

through their router. When connected to a backup sump 

pump system, it will send an email or a text message to 

the user’s phone, or other device,  when there is a potential 

problem with the connected sump pump system.  In the 

past, the user would have to be home to be notified of any 

problem with water or sump pump system.  With this device, 

the user will be able to receive alerts when away from home.

•  WiFi Module    •  Mini USB cable   •  Micro USB cable
