Moisture Sensor to trigger outlet? -Help needed

I would assume its just coding to replace the pump relay with the fortrezz main valve relay.

Good question:

1. Ideally the Valve shows up as “capability.valve” instead of “capability.switch”.

2. The actions to be taken are then wet → “close() or shut()”, dry → “open()”; with perhaps some extra logic to determine if it is safe to "open()" the valve arbitrarily.

3. If the Valve is still reading as “capability.switch”, then I presume "off()" means Shut, and “on()” means Open.

Capability Valve: Attribute "contact" seems mis-named

(Perhaps this doesn’t belong “literally” in the New Capability Types Category … though maybe this Category can be renamed to handle definition issues related to existing Capabilities as well?) I am concerned that Capability “Valve” has it’s main attribute called: contact ["closed", "open"]. [image] A Valve is not a “contact sensor”. (NB: Is this just a Documentation error, @Jim ?). Per the Capability Guidelines (in draft by yours truly…), I recommend that the Primary Attribute of a Capability be named similarly to the Capability: i.e., valve ["closed", "open"] (For grammar reasons, to avoid using the word "open-ed ", I would prefer: valve ["shut", "open"] … Whatever, I’m Canadian ). Next: My Guidelines also suggest a Best Practice to avoid using Command…
