Hello I wonder if anyone here has any suggestions on this I have a pump that I want to monitor, if the pump has not drawn any power for xx number of hours, I would like to receive an alarm about this. I have a device that registers when it turns on and starts I hope you understand what I mean

You’d have a device which can measure power and compatible with Homey.  
With that you can use this flowcard.  
The values are just example values:

Thanks for the answer but I don’t have that option in my sensor which is a “Shelly PM mini 16 A smart power meter” and to clarify my question it is a drain pump that starts with a level gauge in the pump. and if the pump has not been running for xx hours, I would like to be alerted to it in some way

Can’t it read the power?  
Then its’s simpel.  
Make a timer (countdown app)  
start the timer with 4_3600 (4hours) Depends on the time you want to check)  
every time power is up → stop timer → restart the timer with 4_3600 sec  
If timer is empty → Give a warning

No, but the card I showed can be used for any Homey device.  
You see it’s not a Shelly card, but a card from the
