I am trying to disable a switch (powering a water pump) while a sensor is unavailable
I modified an Aqara door sensor with a float valve and have a smart outlet that powers a water pump.
I use an automation to keep my live Christmas tree reservoir full but the Aqara sensors (for me) are unstable and often become unavailable. I worry that the float sensor will become unavailable and not turn off the pump
I thought about this automation that would turn off the switch when the sensor becomes unavailable and notify me but wonder if there is a a more fail safe way of doing this.
