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?

Power is available in the closet, so battery operation is not a
requirement.


Weather station desk clock with radio outside temperature sender.

Crack the sender open & replace the thermistor with LDR.
