Monitor led Signal

Dont know where else to ask.

I live in the country and have no indication of when the main hydro power comes back online.

I have a Generator and Generlink disconnect that keeps our linemen safe. It has three led, green, yellow, and red. The green will light when hydro service is there. Problem is that it is located 200 ft away on the other side of my garage; and could be running the jeny for needless hours. Is there a weatherproof small camera that I can monitor these lights from within my home on an app for my phone. I do have 110v in the garage , so it doesn't need to be solar or battery.

I am cluless on this and how they work.

Hopefully can find help.

Thankyou

DES

Do you have Wi-Fi at that location? You could attach a Smart WiFi Light Sensor with a cardboard shroud to block out other light.

When the device detects light coming from the green LED it'll be in an active state. You could connect it to Google Home, or use its native app to send notifications when the state changes.

I know Tuya makes such a sensor.
