CYD SumpMon

Protect your basement and gain complete peace of mind with this capacity monitor. This innovative device is engineered to proactively monitor your sump pump's capacity, providing early warnings and crucial data to prevent devastating and costly overflows, especially where basement plumbing feeds directly into the sump.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Real-time Capacity Monitoring: Utilizes an ultrasonic distance sensor (like the JSN-SR04T) to continuously measure the distance from the top of the tank down to the water level, effectively showing the remaining capacity. This helps you understand the amount of available space in your sump.
• Intuitive Touchscreen Display: A vibrant LCD display provides a clear visual interface, showing current readings, historical data, and system uptime. The UI is touch-enabled, allowing for easy interaction and configuration.
• Configurable Alarm: Set custom alarm thresholds directly on the device, triggering immediate audible and visual alerts when water levels become too high, ensuring you're always informed. The alarm tone's frequency changes as the level changes.
• Graphical Data Visualization: Observe trends and understand sump activity with a real-time scrolling graph that tracks water capacity over time. The display also shows maximum and minimum recorded values, providing a clear overview of your sump's performance.
• Integrated HTTP Server (WiFi): Access the device's data and potentially update settings remotely via a built-in HTTP server, leveraging the ESP32's WiFi capabilities.
• Robust Design: The system is designed to provide stable readings, even in noisy environments with water turbulence, by averaging multiple sensor readings.

Why Choose Our Sump Capacity Monitor?

• Prevent Costly Damage: An overflowing sump can lead to significant damage to carpets, hardwood floors, and drywall. This monitor is your first line of defense, potentially saving you a lot of money and heartache by alerting you before a disaster occurs.
• Peace of Mind: Know the status of your sump at all times, even during volatile periods of high water inflow from appliances like washing machines.
• Understand Your Sump's Behavior: The detailed graphs and data logging help you understand the dynamics of your sump, from pump cycles to water ingress rates.
• DIY Friendly: Built on readily available components like the ESP32 microcontroller and ultrasonic sensor, it's an accessible and rewarding DIY project for home monitoring, featuring relatively cheap parts and simple software.

Think of this monitor as a vigilant guardian for your sump, constantly listening and ready to sound the alarm, much like a lighthouse constantly scans the horizon to warn ships of impending danger, ensuring your basement remains safe and dry.
