Looking for a smart water shut-off valve controller with lots of torque

@erktrek

I just added a contact sensor to mine (magnetic bar part on the lever) that allows me to verify the valve is actually closed. I want to make a simple rule that runs a test each month and alerts me as to whether or not it closed (and opened) properly.

I had some guidance from @lelynch for a rule to exercise my Dome each month. For now, I am relying on valve reported open/close state, I need to verify if reporting happens at the beginning or end of the cycle. You can use his rule as a basis for yours with integrated contact sensor.

Automatic cycle of Water Shutoff Valve

I do the same as @ritchierich because my watercorp valves lost connection due to firmware. The newer Watercorp valve doesn't have this issue but quite expensive. You shouldn't be having issue with Dome valve. Doesn't hurt to have a rule to cycle the valve once a week though.
