Basement Guard Pro · brought to you by Control Freak

Put the Control Freak on your basement.

Two pumps, one watchful hub. Basement Guard Pro keeps an eye on the pit, the pipes and the floor — so you can stop listening for the pump every time it rains.

How many apps do you open to run your home?

Basement Guard Pro ships with Home Assistant and the Control Freak integration already set up, so your sump, leak sensors and the rest of your smart home meet in one place. Connect the devices you already own and simplify to a single app. Multi-platform integration built in: ask Alexa what the status is, tell Google to adjust the temperature, and receive automated voice alerts to let you know when something is out of balance. Home Assistant stays on your home network.

Who it’s for

Peace of mind when you’re away.

For homeowners with a basement sump who want a second pump that actually takes turns — second-home and rental owners who can’t check in person, and Home Assistant users who’ve built sump sensors by hand and want it done properly. Self-install: set the pumps in the pit, plug them into the Power Hub, drop in the level sensor, scan the QR code. No rewiring.

Why Basement Guard Pro

What makes it different

Two pumps take turns

Plug in the two pumps you already own. The lead swaps every week so both wear evenly, and the two never start at the same moment.

Second pump steps in

If the water keeps rising, the second pump is brought in automatically and you get a note.

See the water level

Pit depth in inches and how fast it’s rising — not just alarm / no alarm.

Pumps work even if the controller doesn’t

Pump outlets stay on if the controller is ever off, and each pump keeps its own float switch.

Pump check-up

Spots a slow pump-down or a pump that didn’t empty the pit. Weekly pump test included.

Leak and freeze watch

Leak sensors by the water heater and washer, a high-water float as a second check, temperature probes — plug-in heat tape switches on when it gets cold.

Alerts that reach you

Push, text, email and alarm, including when you’re away — plus a siren in the house that sounds whether or not the internet is up.

Home Assistant pre-installed

One hub for basement and home. Ask Alexa what the status is, tell Google to adjust the temperature, get voice alerts.

In the box

What’s in Basement Guard Pro

  • Controller with Home Assistant + Control Freak integration
  • Power Hub — labelled outlets for two sump pumps, plug-in heat tape, a dehumidifier and a spare
  • Pit level sensor (depth and rate of rise)
  • High-water float (second check)
  • Leak sensors (water heater + washer)
  • Temperature probes (basement, crawlspace, water heater area, outdoor)
  • Siren for inside the house
  • Backup inverter hook-up — switches on an inverter you already own
  • Keyed, colour-coded cables

Your sump pumps aren’t in the box — you keep the ones you have. Every sensor is its own line on the cart: the recommended package costs less than the same lines bought separately, and you can skip any you already own.

Options & honesty

Optional add-ons

UPS to keep the controller (and ideally your router) running in a power cut; a 12 V battery backup pump from a partner; and automatic water shutoff as an option — closes the main when a leak sensor gets wet, plumber-installed.

What it isn’t: not for sewage ejector or commercial duplex pits, heat tape and dehumidifier are plug-in only, no subscription, and Home Assistant never runs in the cloud.

Interactive demo · Simulation

Try the home screen

Simulate a storm and watch the second pump wait its turn, run the weekly pump test, swap the lead pump, try a cold snap, or preview a sample alert.

This is a marketing simulation with example data — not live hardware and not the real app. No login, no cloud.
