There doesn't exist any trigger in dwarf fortress that reacts on the working state of machine components, thus power. If you want to create trigger signals from power, you'll have to convert it via pressure plates, screw pumps and any fluid.

The Input power can be connected to the pump by a gear or an axle. The Output signal will be generated by a 2-7 plate, or a 0-1 plate if you want to invert it. The design is flexible concerning where to connect the power to the pump or where to place any access doors and stairs, but be careful with the fluid. If you don't find another way to deal with it, you'll have to refill the pool on Z-1 from time to time somehow, because fluid at the plate could evaporate when power is off.
