I am heating my house with coal. water pump is swithed on and off by thermostat. I can easy tell when to add more coal by simply knowing that pump is turned off. since my heating unit is placed on bedrooms balcony I can simply put some kind of bulb paralel to pump, but that will only tell me if pump gets power. I found my pumps datasheet where I found out that I can use pwm signal to controll and monitor the actual power and error codes such as low input voltage or pump not working. I decided to simplify output because my system uses constant pump speed so there is no need to know the actual power and all my life living here I don't remember any time that voltage was not normal. so I decided to use simply one rgb led to show me on/off/error
