Hi, Many thanks for your contribution but I wont commit because :

I do not want to have problems with the manufacturer, please delete : The board is designed to act and substitute a HmIP-FALMOT-C12. This controller is about 210$.

-### Supported valves : 1) https://github.com/nliaudat/floor-heating-proportional-valve is a standalone valve which do not need a controller. You can run it without the ESP-C3 board, but the distance sensor will not work.

2) All DC valve from range 3V3 to 12V should works. You only need to change the power supply according to your valve Link the >5v jumper and cut the 3V3 cutout as in https://github.com/nliaudat/esp32_8ch_motor_shield/raw/main/imgs/v1-4.png

3) As example, the "Equiva Model N" is a 3v3 valve that works

-### AC Power : it' ESP32 board, not ESP8266

Regards

Thanks for the comment. You are right. No need to get in trouble with the vendor of HmIP-XXX (here: homatic ip). Anyway, I will incorporate/update your remarks.
