If this is ok then a latching or motorised valve is best for power consumption. Also to note, amount of power valve draws may not be the biggest consumer. | |

| Nov 19, 2016 at 11:52 | comment | added | humanityANDpeace | found and linked the device from amazon, yet I agree that the information provided is insufficient. In general folks tends to give more often too little information. I (firefox user) also get the harm warning message, yet I see how much info I will reach not having javascript activated, thanks for your efforts and the information. Maybe for sake of completeness, the valves you mention (latching type) require extra special circuit to operate or can also go simple operate on voltage change? | |

| Nov 19, 2016 at 11:20 | comment | added | humanityANDpeace | Since energy consumption is the interest, can you maybe qualify how much the power consumed in the one point is? Not necessarily linked to a special part, but relative to the power consumed while switching? Or is it that the power consumed during holding and switching is the same? thank you! | |
