I take my skimmers out and soak them in vinegar a couple times a year now, taking the pump apart, cleaning the shaft and casing and airline. That way it is always at full efficiency and the airline stays clean.
A waste collector could b setup externally to shut it down or you could add a float switch in the skimmer cup if so desired.
I have decided that skimmers run wild on occassion and you just have to plan for it to happen and if you plan well then it's no big deal. When mine runs wild it just circulates water through the skimmer body and an emergency dump drain dumps water back to the sump.
