I am working on a project for a device that will monitor a LP power motor and send a notification when the motor has started to run. I need a way to detect that the motor is running but I cannot due this intrusively(ie they wont let me splice into any existing wires). My idea was to create device that could detect current being generated by the alternator through the wire that is recharging the battery using maybe a hall effect sensor (kind of like a mini amp clamp). I have never had any experience with this and was wondering if anyone my be able to point in the right direction...
My device can provide a 5 volt supply to a hall effect sensor, but which one would be best to use? Should I use a transducer?
Thanks for all your help!
