Re: Re: Flow switch recommendations - and integration to HA server

How dare you!

Why do something simple when you can make it as complicated as you

Seriously, I'm with you - Time delay relay for the mirror would be ideal
but I think an additional VFC as an input to something else for the
audio would be preferable to an attenuator.
