Test and monitoring system for a pump installation

This system automatically tests how well a pump installation, such as a sump pump, is working. It opens an electric valve to let liquid into the pump, waits for a specific event like a set time passing or a sensor detecting a change in water level or pump motor current, then closes the valve and reports the test results, including if the test failed.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread availability of low-cost, powerful microcontrollers and IoT platforms. Building the control logic and integrating sensors for automated testing is now significantly more accessible and affordable.
