Jojo pump motor start notification

[tRoN]

Hi

I have a jojo connected to my home plumbing. The thing is that when there are water cuts we are unaware that the jojo is being used.

Is there a way to get a notification that the jojo pump motor has been activated with a notification ?
I have the following devices
1. Home assistant
2. Aqara hub
3. Hoobs

Ideally I’d like to get a notification on my iPhone with HomeKit

You could connect a sonoff POW to the pump and write an automation in Home Assistant that when the POW registers power (pump turning on) - ie Watts is greater than 0. Send a notification to iPhone.

The POW is rated for 3Kw - and a JoJo pump is normally under 750w - so completely safe to use.

Just kidding, I have no solution for you. I am sure someone will be able to help.

I have my JoJo pump connected to an ASP, so the above suggestion to have a notification automation set up to show when power is consumed would work fine.
The only issue is depending on how your system is setup, the pump may work under all circumstances (in-line system always uses the pump)

Automation would be something like:

alias: Notification - JoJo Pump in Use
description: Notification - JoJo Pump in Use
trigger:
  - platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.asp_wi_fi_power
    for:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 30
    above: 300
condition: []
action:
  - service: notify.telegramjt
    data:
      message: JoJo Pump in Use
  - service: notify.telegramlt
    data:
      message: JoJo Pump in Use
mode: single

I have a sonoff pow lying around.
How do I set up the automation and notification?

Just watch out using a Sonoff POW2/3 for this.

I have a POW2 and POW3 and they keep on reporting power usage until I open up the ewelink app, going to any one of the 2 devices and keeping it open for about 5 minutes. Then power usage falls back to 0. (this happens even when the device is off)

Not sure if it is just me experiencing this or if this is a common issue. Never used to do it, but I have now noticed this behavior for the past few months.

I have never experienced that with both of my POWs connected to Home Assistant.

You can look on the Home Assistant forums for guides on notifications to iPhone and automations etc. should be straightforward.

So got it setup with the telegram bot integration.
Works like a charm !
