Hi all! If my solenoid valve by my main stopcock (norwegian: magnetventil ved hovedstoppekranen) is of the kind that closes when there’s no power, I could control main waterflow to the house by using a zigbee smart plug. In addition I would like to control the smart plug by using a smart zigbee flip switch (do they exist?) as it would indicate the state of the smart plug/valve.
I would like your input on all pertaining to my plans:
- Is it a bad idea? Any drawbacks?
- Why use zigbee? Why not? Any other suggestions and why?
- Zigbee flip switch? Cheap (I assume), simple and intuitive interface, but do they exist? Any other and better implementation?
If doable: Can you suggest a smart plug and flip switch I could use?
