Programming: ATO Empty notification

Hello, I want to program an outlet on my apex to do the following.

I'm going to place a set of float switches in my top off bucket at the bottom. I'm going to plug the switches into an outlet on my apex. When the water is empty in the top off bucket I want the apex to detect that the switch is changed status and email me that the top off bucket is about empty.

Anyone have a suggestion how I would do that. Would the Apex detect if the switch is open or closed based on the switch plug in being in the outlet or would I have to have something plugged into the switches to show a power draw?

Thoughts?

I have a spare set of float switches from autotopoff.com I want to use for this.

Thanks,
