Default Gimmick needed...

New water softener has a blinking LED when salt level gets low.

Of course it's hidden in its own private closet in the garage.

Any cute gimmicks out there to "watch" the LED and transmit the info
into the house?


Ya need one of them refrigerator alarms that
speaks when the light goes on.

'Course that disembodied voice at oh dark thirty
in the morning intoning "Refill the Water Softener!"
might be a little creepy.
