Water pump control using Raspberry PI

Hello guys, today I want to share a great experience I had with the Raspberry PI.
Since I have a basement and the foundations needs to be emptied sometimes, especially during the rainy seasons, I've developed a web application that runs on Tomcat + Java 7 that allows the user to check the water level (using Ultrasonic Sensor HC-SR04) and activate remotely the pump (using Relay board). Also some sort of push notifications notifies the user if some given limit has been trespassed.

You can fork the project on Github: https://github.com/cecchisandrone/raspberrypi.

Also see the demo in the following video:
