Flow switch–MR-W1-P
I had a quick question on your flow switch. A little back story here, I am a landlord that wants to create a device to limit water flows inside my properties. Basically, if a toilet runs too long, a leaky sink happens, or an all out pipe break/leak occurs, I want to hook this up to my main source of water, preferably just after the meter, and have a solenoid shut down the water… after a user input amount of time. The sensor, I assume, sends a constant signal to my “alarm” only when the water is “flowing”
I have a timer in mind…

What I want is every time the water is turned on, the sensor sends a signal to the timer which counts to say 60 minutes, if/when the water is quickly turned off, the timer resets. If the water runs longer the 60 minutes, the alarm sends a signal to a solenoid to shut off the water. A manual override, ie the tenant or me, would have to go turn it back on after repairs have been made. Basically it limits damage to the property, as well to the pocketbook keeping an obscene water from happening.
Any input? I would preferably want a 3/4" flow sensor, but, for now, I’m just prototyping…
