Pocster Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago (edited) So this crap battery powered high water alarm worries me . Just tested it , batteries apparently flat even though replaced only 3 weeks ago . Not much faith in this . Could be flat and I wouldn’t know until kitchen flooded So want a pressure switch that links to a mains powered but battery backup unit . Unit has a light to indicate it’s actually on and also possibility to trigger a zigbee relay so can notify HA Most of these alarms operate on a float which I don’t want . Pressure switches seem to be industrial or maybe a washing machine type pressure switch ??? Any solid suggestions on a pressure switch , alarm box that will work together suitably appreciated Edited 12 hours ago by Pocster
Pocster Posted 11 hours ago Author Posted 11 hours ago Maybe this alarm box ? https://www.tritoncontrols.co.uk/alarms-and-controls/basic-alarm-easyfit.html?ppc_keyword=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=12120096619&gbraid=0AAAAACdOt02h4JZ2Q8Pdc71YfcucXK6V4&gclid=CjwKCAjw1dLDBhBoEiwAQNRiQThOWqB0p_yPqPWb-ZbaDP_56QCHJGeU_7bjHp0DB25wdPJVVM12UBoC-98QAvD_BwE But a suitable pressure sensor switch seems to be a bit of a minefield of possibilities
Mr Punter Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago I don't understand where the pressure switch would fit in. It is normally float type switches for these applications.

It is normally float type switches for these applications. The saniflo has a pressure switch . You drill a hole in the top of the saniflo , place a plastic tube it it . The saniflo then sits ontop the unit with the pressure switch in the head of the tube .
Pocster Posted 9 hours ago Author Posted 9 hours ago So I’m going to use a standard phone charger to a usb step down I.e to 3v . Wire it into a zigbee door sensor . Then wire dry contacts from reed switch to alarm panel . This should get reliable HA in event of the alarm . Its just the pressure sensor - might take a punt .
