My return pump is in the basement. Is there an COTS option for installing a level sensor in my display that kills the pump if the tank starts to overflow on the main floor. I’d prefer some that is wireless. Im thinking a float with a wireless signal to a power block that the pump plugs into. Thx.

Without getting into the weeds I think you can put it together. Take a look at the D-Link water sensors that connect to WiFi. You might be able to get it to turn off an outlet through Alexa or Google. Another alternative is the Ring alarm system.
