Question

Wondering if something exists in the ST world. I have a sump pump that has an alarm in case the sump pump either fails or is being overloaded. This alarm will let off a very loud beep similar to that of a smoke detector. Without re-wiring anything, are there any ST devices that will notify me in case a high-pitched alarm is heard?  

Answer 1

There are listeners that just listen for loud noises that may work without the issue I mentioned above. Here's one example: a $25 Wyze cam listens for 3 things; Smoke, CO and Sound. The first 2 won't help, but the last one will. Wyze cams don't integrate directly with ST, but you can tie them in via IFTTT to flip a virtual switch in ST or kick off some automation. I use this method listening for our explosive gas detector tone in the furnace room. Not elegant, but works.
