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

Hello Neil

You've lost me there!
What's a VFC?

Of course I'd not allowed for the fact that the relay in my original
suggestion would only operate whilst the water was flowing :-)
So your time delay relay, or possibly a latching/step relay with a reset
button would be required.
