It could tell you that you have powered the solenoid to shift, but it doesn't tell you if it actually shifted or not. We installed reed sensors for this in case to see if we actually completed the shift or not. We ordered the magnetic piston, and installed two on each cylinder to know when it completed the shift. When we lowered the psi to the shifters, it shifted flawlessly, so we didn't need the sensors.

Also, I'm not sure about you, but I'm not a hat person.
