Valve Device

Device Category: valve

The Valve device represents a controllable valve used for managing the flow of liquids or gases in various systems.

Required Channels

These channels are mandatory for the functionality of the valve:

Channel	Description	Multiple	Details
`valve`	Controls fluid or gas valves, managing open/close states or flow rates.	No	See details
`device_information`	Provides metadata about the device, including manufacturer details, model information, and operational statuses.	No	See details

These channels are optional and provide additional features:

Channel	Description	Multiple	Details
`battery`	Reports the status of a device’s battery, including level, charging state, and operational health.	No	See details
`electrical_energy`	Measures the total energy consumption over time, typically reported in kilowatt-hours (kWh).	No	See details
`electrical_power`	Reports real-time power metrics such as voltage, current, and wattage for monitoring and diagnostics.	No	See details
`flow`	Monitors the rate of fluid or air flow, typically measured in cubic meters per hour (m3/h).	No	See details
`leak`	Identifies the presence of water or other liquids to detect leaks and prevent damage.	No	See details
`pressure`	Reports atmospheric or liquid pressure values, typically measured in pascals (kPa).	No	See details

Flow Control:
- Open and close valves to control water or gas flow. Support for partial opening where applicable.
Safety Monitoring:
- Detect leaks and monitor pressure for system safety.
Utility Management:
- Track flow rates for water or gas usage monitoring.
