Water shutoff valve not controllable through automations or siri

[sam011989]

Describe The Bug: The current configuration of the integration prohibits utilizing the shutoff value in any automations. I can open and close the valve manually but I cant use Siri nor scenes or automations to close the valve.

To Reproduce: Try to create any scene and notice that the shutoff valve (not the mode controller) is missing

Expected behavior: I should be able to use the shutoff valve like a “switch” allowing me to incorporate it into automations and Siri.

This is an issue with the Home app, other Homekit application allows this functionality. I will look into an option to expose the valve as something the Home app can use as automation.

I attempted this in another HomeKit application and while I was able to program the closing of the valve, it did not actually respond to the scene calls/automation even though the icon indicated "shutting" and "running" respectively.

Thanks, I would second this enhancement. A valid use-case would be to create an automation where the Eve Water Guard (for example) could trigger the closing of the Moen valve. This would be awesome!

@master-nevi you can already do the use case you are discussing in the Eve application. It will allow you to control the Flo-valve based on Eve Water Guard event = Alert. This rule I have set today in my environment.

@sam011989, I posted a new version code and it now has the option to create a switch and valve control. It will be released as package something next week.
