Controlling a water valve

Post by jpearce »

After getting good answers to my Boiler control question, I'll dip my toe on another one :-)
I have a manual summer/winter valve in my heating set up to open or close the radiator circuit (so in summer I've got water heating only).
I'd like to replace this with an automatic valve, which I can control, probably using FS20.
Does anyone know of an FS20 controlled ball-valve or, failing this, an automated valve that can be signalled by something that talks FS20?
Thanks!

You can probably use any FS20 on/off switch which shorts a relays to open or close a ballvalve.
I have district heating and it also has a main valve on the heating circuit. I know the upcoming is in dutch, but you'll grasp the pictures and the productcode. it's self explanatory.

They cost around € 150,- in the Netherlands doing a quick google search.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem!

Thanks again.

Looks like just what I need. That, switched by an FS20 switch.
