A single level sensor can tell you far more than just the level — if you think about what should be happening.
With one sensor and a few lines of script looking for expected level change, you can detect:
• A pump that’s running but not moving fluid
• A pump that isn’t primed
• A blocked or partially blocked intake
• Suction leaks
• A closed valve where it shouldn’t be
• A pump running dry or starting to fail
But once you start thinking laterally, that same sensor can also detect:
• Sensor faults → stuck, out of range, noisy, water-ingress
• Unusual drops → leaks, theft, backflow
• Level that never drops → irrigation not running / no demand
• Level dropping too slowly → outlet blockage or valve issue
• Unexpected usage patterns that point to operational issues
All from one sensor.
All from one piece of logic.
Sometimes clever beats complex.
