This is a Wi-Fi-based device that remotely alerts the user of

potential water problems in their home. It uses 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, the WiFi

Module sends an email, text, or push notication to the user’s

phone, tablet or computer when a potential problem exists with

the connected sump pump system. In the past, the user must be

home to be notied of a problem with water or the sump pump

system. With this device, the user can receive alerts while away

from home.
