I've done all kinds of construction, including lots of electrical. But I've been deferring learning about the finer parts for...ever. Whoops!
I bought a device that detects hot water flowing in our house. The water opens a valve that creates a closed switch/circuit to a 110v pump that circulates the hot water. So, turn on faucet, turn it off, wait a minute, and the water is hot at the faucet. Very green. But the electronics died. I want to build my own replacement, so I don't rely on this product existing later.
Ideas for how I can connect the two valve wires (low volt) to switch on power to the pump, and after 2 mins, have it switch off again? Thanks in advance.
