Update on the project:

• The automation to turn the lights on when I come home late does not work; I need to research presence detection.
• I have confirmed that the new sump pump has been running. (I installed a smart plug with the ability to report power consumption, and checked the power consumption during a recent rainfall.)

Next exercise: set up InfluxDB (a time-series database) and Grafana (a time-series data visualisation tool) to give me a better dashboard display of exactly what's happening.
