Curious how this topic progressed have any solutions been tried that I could learn from??

I wonder if you might consider setting up a HTML page with live system info on the PI...
...and then use a free monitoring tool like uptime robot to get your emails: (Free)

Mike,
I've done something similar with detecting when my well pump comes on.
The email part was pretty straight forward because Linux has a number of
command line email clients.
I used:
? mutt - email client
? postfix - email server
? paclink-unix - winlink support
For the AC detection circuit I used a Linrose B2150A3 Amber Neon Pilot light as
an Opto-isolated AC Voltage Sensor. Some links below for reference:
* [[ | How to detect AC voltage (not measuring)]]
* [[ | Opto-Isolated AC Voltage Sensor]] - Daniel Porrey
* [[ | Linrose B2150A3 Amber 105-125VAC Neon Pilot Light]]
I would run the RPi from 12 Volts using some buck regulator.
