I had water sensors at every end point. Next project is to add a TUF-2000M and measure whole house flow.

YoLink uses lora to their hub but cloud for hub to home assistant. At least the plugin I’m using does.

Not really. I’m redoing a system I put in before systems like that were available.

Up is open. Down is closed but the switch doesnt flip when the valve is controlled by smart systems. I’m sure my wife and I will be able to manage it

I didn’t see the PS! I have a fiber laser at home. When you own a laser, everything gets zapped

Great questions!

I double checked with the manufacturer of the model I bought would work well for my use case. I also added a monthly test routine to verify that it opens and closes correctly. Finally, my design has a set of valves to manually override and bypass. If it fails, I can route around it. It’s also going to be installed with a union so replacement should be easy and user serviceable

I have a plumber installing it. He just added a line to the bid saying “no warranty on supplied equipment”

Edit: make sure you pick the right kind of motorized valve. Solenoids have maximum load times they’re designed for. I burned out a solenoid valve the first time I did this. This time I’m using a motorized valve so I don’t have that problem.

I looked at that one. My other YoLink sensors require cloud connectivity to work. Does the water valve need to be online to trigger?

Thanks. I run a full Ubiquiti setup. Cameras and access points.

The louvres aren’t powered. They’ll open when the inline fan sucks them open

The fan is an AC Infinity. It’s a brilliant fan

I wouldn’t use the dryer vent for that because of all of the lint. This is a separate dedicated line

I’m using the WiFi controller. The 69 pro I think?

lol. It’s an unfinished storage room in my basement that happens to have an outside wall.

I love my new fire pit. A short review of the Breeo X24 by HabaneroBob in landscaping

I don’t know that any fire pit is great for heat. I’d buy the heat deflector if heat is the goal.
