As others mentioned, padlock is fine. I like the idea of the alarm contact, but I'd place the wireless contact indoors and hard wire to a magnetic contact on the disconnect as it will be more weather resistant. Many wireless contacts have terminals for this purpose.

For your own home use this isn't necessary. If this were a permanent installation you would have to, as the 20 amp receptacles indicate that there is 20 amps available. (There is a code article for this requirement but it doesn't seem necessary/ appropriate here)
