Re: Flow switch recommendations - and integration to HA server

["noel" <noel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks both, I've never dabbled with relays before, any
suggestions/links to the kind of thing I'd be looking for? especially the
time delay relay that sounds perfect, and then I assume I can add another
relay into the circuit somehow later that could then go as an input into
home vision or similar.

For the second relay is there anything X10 in nature that when triggered
would send an x10 signal?

Cheers

Noel
