Yeah, that's a good idea! I should have come up with that one, since I've been a Ham since 1968..

I would also rig up a second light blub with spade lugs for the crankcase heater element.
That will tell you if the ASHP is operating in winter mode..
And avoid overheating the crankcase, in case it's dry..
